52 in 2014

January 1st Dania and I along with our friends Amber and Pat will be starting the 52 week book challenge. The challenge is this: read 52 books during the year. We created a list together, the only rules: the books chosen could only have been read by two people in the group and they had to be fewer* than 600 pages (approximately). Below you will find our list. I hope to be posting thoughts on each book as I (we) finish them. We are going to try and stick to a monthly timeline so we can discuss the books after reading. It was fun seeing what everyone selected!
