My 2017 - 52 Books in 52 Weeks RC Sign-Up


Once again, the lovely Robin of "My Two Blessings" is hosting the 52 Books in 52 Weeks Reading Challenge, in 2017!  Simple and straightforward, read a book a week.  I'm sure I've done that in 2016 (read at least a book a week), but my admin skills have thus far been...*ahem*...somewhat underdeveloped.  Hoping to change that in 2017!

Click the button above to go to the sign-up page, so you can see the other folks who will be reading along side you (virtually speaking)!

2.  Night of the Purple Moon by Scott Cramer (September 10, 2013)

I've already got 2-3 books on my January list that are anywhere from a couple months to a couple years old, so I'm going for "The Voyage - 10+ books" here.

Chunky Books (500+ pages)

1.  Unknown to History: a story of the Captivity of Mary of Scotland by Charlotte Mary Yonge (614 pp)

Going to the other end of the spectrum here, "The Tide is High - 2 books".  I don't usually seek out books for their hugeness, but I don't run away from them either. :O)
