😀 I’ve got several reading challenges going this year, so I’ll probably do this one like I did in 2014 – fill in the categories at the end of the year, rather than reading specifically FOR this challenge. 😉

I officially started reading again today during SSR; previous to today, I’d used that sacred time to grade and I think that’s part of the reason why I didn’t make my Goodreads goal last year. I don’t want to set any reading goals because I don’t want to be disheartened so I’ll live vicariously through you. 😀
