Stephanie | 316 comments Wasn't planning on doing this challenge just because I have a pretty big reading load for 2016, but I couldn't resist! Plus, the years just started filling up with everything I have planned to read, only have to add a few :) So count me in for 31 books, using the year I was born!

I'll be keeping track of mine in my corner, Stephanie's Challenges For 2016.
