Eclectic Reader Challenge

I am doing another book challenge suggested by a friend! This one seems a little easier as it will be over the course of the year and is designed to get you outside your reading comfort zone! 

In it’s fourth year, the aim of The Eclectic Reader Challenge is to push you outside your comfort zone by reading up to 12 books during the year from 12 different categories.

The challenge will run from January 1st to December 31st 2015. Participants may join at any time up until December 1st 2015
