2015 Book Challenge
So, I started making MY list. Who wants in? Here are the books on my goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/review/list/60049-blair?shelf=2015-reading-challenge

And because I'm a SUPER busy lady lately, I'm combining several of these categories into one book. Considering I haven't had much time to read since having kids and starting grad school, I still find the list I've compiled so far to be a challenge. Here is how I've combined them. (Note - some are blank because I haven't planned that far ahead!)
