Charity Reading Challenge
Host: Becky's Book Reviews (sign up here)
Duration: January-December 2017
# of books: You decide

This was my second year participating in Becky's challenge. Like last year, I signed up with a goal of 12 books and I've now reached that--so my commitment has been met.

It was interesting to to track my charity giving based on books during 2016. I get a great number of my used books from our Friends of the Library [FoL] used book shop and their twice yearly sales as well as the Hoosier Hills [Food Bank] Community Book Fair. So, I read books that I've gotten from there over the years. I am still recording each time I indulge my book habit at FoL book shop and at the fall book fair in 2017. Last year I spent a total of $268.15 at charity book sales and at FoL shop. We'll see how much I give away in 2017. I will report a final total at year's end.
