Hosted by My Reader's Block, this challenge is very similar to the 2014 TBR Pile Challenge above. The main difference is that I can also count books that I acquired before Jan 1, 2014, including books with a 2013 publication date, so there will be a lot of overlap! However, I must actually OWN the books before the end of the year and not just have them on my TBR list. This mean NO LIBRARY BOOKS! I will participate at the Pike's Peak level, 12 books.
- The Kitchen House by Kathleen Grissom
This is a challenge of my own making. In an attempt to diversify my reading, I will read one book from at least ten of the Choice Awards categories.
I plan to average one book per week, or a minimum of 52 books for 2014.
