Merry Christmas and Happy New Years! So I know a few weeks ago I said I was taking a Bloggiesta in January, but I pretty much did that in December, so I decided to jump back in right away in January.

I really enjoyed participating in reading challenges last year, so I’m excited to do it again in 2016! Here are the challenges I’m joining, and the books I’m planning on reading:

Read My Own Damn Books Challenge, hosted by Estella’s Revenge.

I, like so many other bloggers and book lovers, have a bookshelf full of books I haven’t read (this is just counting physical books, we aren’t even going to talk about ebooks). I’m pledging to read 50 physical books that are currently sitting on my shelf.
I won’t bore you with a list of 50 books right now; I’ll update my challenges page as I read through them.

Those are my challenges! What reading challenges are you participating in for 2016?
