Sadly, I was carrying my list over from last year. So I have no idea what I had read off the list. I think I might start this one again and fill in any of the books that I've already read that match any of the criteria.

I have decided I need to get some more structure back into my reading, as I find I read more if I have some direction, so rather than choose a pressured challenge, I'm going to join in with this one, and not set a time limit, I'll just plough on til I've finished!
I will look at the list later, and see what I've already managed so far this year, and then start choosing books from my shelves that will fit!
