Reading Challenge Update

Hey Elle - on hiatus ,

We've got just under two months left in 2015... how's your reading challenge holding up? I just did a quick assessment of my own to see how far behind I am and what kinds of stuff I need to read by the end of the year to accomplish my goal.

The good news is that I'm over three-quarters of the way done!

 

 

78% complete

I tried not to double-up on books, but some of them just happened to overlap and I'm not one to pass up on an opportunity to kill two birds with one stone. Here's where I am as of today:
