I’m participating in the 100 Books Challenge again in 2016 for the fifth year (!). In 2015, I completed 72 books, which is the worst I’ve done in the 100 Books Challenge since I started tracking the challenge in 2012. This year, my goal is to be back up in the 90s as I was in 2014. This challenge is paired with the 50 Books by Women of Color challenge I’m also trying this year. Share your book-reading goals and suggestions for what to read next in the comments.
I support independent bookstores! Take a minute to check out IndieBound to find your nearest local indie.
