We’re always looking for books to move us yet we’re sometimes scared to break out of our comfort zones. One of our girl’s showed this list to us and we think this is the perfect challenge to help us branch out with our reading. We’ve marked off the challenges we’ve already met this year…how many can you mark off?
We’ll check back (maybe once a month or so) to see how everyone is doing! – Christina
