Wild Goose Chase 2017

This challenge is hosted by The Bookshelf Gargoyle and I’m going to give it a try because I want to do more category challenges this year. The Challenge will run from January 1st to December 31, 2017. Challengees must read at least one book from each category (listed below).  Challengees must read a DIFFERENT book for each category – even if your book title might fit a number of categories, it will only count towards a single category.  Challengees are free to choose which category best suits. The categories listed are a loose guide and creative interpretation of the categories is not only encouraged, but applauded. [Read more…] about Wild Goose Chase Reading Challenge 2017 sign-up
