As I'm trying to read more this year than I did last year I came across this Book Challenge while browsing Goodreads the other day. I totally admit that I'm not that outgoing when it comes to book-reading so I figured this challenge would get me reading a whole bunch of different things.
I'm sure there will be some that I don't actually do, such as Second Chance. If I can't get through a book I'm not going to waste my time trying to. But hopefully this will push me to finally read a biography or memoir and more Sci-Fi.
