The Reading Challenge Group discussion

This year I challenge myself to:
* Read 65 total books

I read:

2) Lives in Ruins: Archeologists and the Seductive Lure of Human Rubble by Marilyn Johnson
3) The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind: Creating Currents of Electricity and Hope by William Kamkwamba

5) Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking by Susan Cain
6) In Other Words by Jhumpa Lahiri

8) Magna Carta: The Birth of Liberty by Dan Jones
9) I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban by Malala Yousafzai

* Finish at least 3 series I have started that have all titles published as of 2016.
1) Read Ignite Me by Tahereh Mafi to complete the Shatter Me series.
2) Read The Winner's Kiss by Marie Rutkoski
3) Read The Rose & the Dagger by Renee Ahdieh

* Finish at least 1 annual challenge created by a Goodreads Group. - DONE

I will also list all my mini challenges here.

For my first mini-challenge (New Year/New Author) I read Médicis Daughter: A Novel of Marguerite de Valois by Sophie Perinot. It was a perfect pick. I enjoyed the book and will look for her next when it comes out.
