2013 Contentment Reading Challenge

January 1, 2013- December 31, 2013

Hosted by: Seasons of Humility

Floating: Skimming the surface ~ re-reading 5 books you already own.

Didn't reread one book last year :( Definitely hoping to change that in 2014!

Well, I was able to complete 6 out of the 10 challenges I signed up for in 2013. I'm hoping to do better with the challenges I signed up to do for 2014.
