Å·±¦ÓéÀÖ

I'm love love loving how everyone is posting all their different reading challenges in addition to the ATY lists. It's getting me so pumped for 2016. And making me want in on all the challenges.

So I'm going to post all my challenges here. I'm allowing overlapping of books between challenges because I think that's the only way I can handle it.

In 2015, I completed the PopSugar Reading Challenge & the A-Z Author Challenge. If I'm being serious, in 2016, I want to complete PopSugar, Around the Year, A-Z Titles & the 12 Month Classics Challenge. Anything else would just be icing on the cake.

Oh there's no way this is all happening this year. After seeing the lists other group members are posting, I thought it's a great idea to post all my challenges here. Plus then I can borrow ideas from other people.

I love your goodreads choice challenge! I may have to steal the idea. XD
