This is amazing, Amber - you've read so much! I like the way you organise all your challenges too.

I'm doing far fewer challenges than you! But I've read 38 books so far since joining Goodreads in January- more books than I expected. Really wish I'd organised better when I started, but am learning as I go along.

Trish, that is a terrific result. It took me a lot longer to really get involved in challenges than you, but now I am hooked. But I do try to read books just because I feel like reading them too.

This maxi challenge is for those who want to explore the genre of Fantasy. It will run from April-June 2017. (now extended until December)
