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)!
