Just when I thought I have signed up enough reading challenges to last me for a year (or perhaps two), I found some more new challenges coming right up my alley! Didn't I mention to you guys that this stuff is addictive? :D You bet it is. Anyway, let me share these with you and hopefully you will join in the fun as well.
