Sounds good Diamond. Keep us updated as to how you're doing.

I recently saw a challenge to read a book set in every US state. One year I decided to read more nonfiction and biographies than I usually do. I hadn’t set a goal until I saw this. I may do the US setting challenge.

Interesting challenge -- I wonder how many states are covered in Amish fiction?

How are you doing with you reading challenges?
