Each year, I join in on the Goodreads Reading Challenge.
I recently hit my goal of reading 80 books during 2016. I have read 86 books from 1/1/16 to 10/7/16. And I’m wondering why I’m so tired!!! I must say that I’ve even impressed myself. I had actually started out trying to read a book each month by an author I’ve avoided. I made it through several months before I gave up. Some of those books are on this list.
