Title: Book Challenge 2017: Book 'em Danno
Post by: muppet on January 01, 2017, 10:30:06 AM
Restarting this thread for the first year since 2013

1. Make a post, preferably stating a goal of how many books you want to read this year.
2. Edit that post as you read throughout the year, slowly adding to the list of books you've read. Sorting the list by month is recommended.
3. Don't create additional posts, just keep editing your original post. Graphic novels count as .25 (in other words, 4 graphic novels = one book)
