Reading Challenge

2017

for more information, click here

There isn't a sign up spot, just social media spots to check in and share what you're reading. There is also a DISCOUNT CODE to get used books that fit the list but you must use it before January 31, 2017.

This is "read the list" type challenge so there are no levels. Do it or don't. I'm going to try because a lot of the books will fit other challenges I'm doing.
