Having succeeded in this challenge for 2018, I am back again this year. I find this is the best place to record my total reads for the year. I am undecided whether to tackle several other challenges or whether to just read what I fancy off my shelves or the local library. Time to make some decisions soon but for now the first library book is completed and the next, a group read, also from the library then back to my own shelves. Happy New Year everyone and wishing you some great reading in 2019
