Book Date is again hosting a Full House Challenge, where she designs a bingo card and then I try to read my way through it. I did it last year and had a lot of fun, and, as she advises, I mostly fell into the squares through the books I read anyway, so I just got to feel extra successful. This year I plan to use the same strategy.Also, I really like the buttons Book Date designs for her challenges. She makes it look easy, but everything I try comes out looking like a smudge and then I avoid using it. So Kudos for her art, her initiative in running a challenge (I think she even has prizes!) and on her reading enthusiasms.
What do I have to try to read this year? See below. I will have to think about what I want for my Self-Challenge.
Oh, I'm also going to try harder to link back up during the quarterly checkins, because that is social and one of my New Years Resolutions is to be more social:

Beth, great - make sure you link this post to the finish post as it is up - you may have done already in which case disregard! Also with your summary posts you could link that post each time it contains one or more of the books and if you haven't you can for past posts so as to have a chance to win! Only if you want of course! Like your idea of rinse and repeat!
