O.K. I give the January challenge a try. Last year, I read about 200 books. I am not sure that I will read as much this year, but I could risk to tell that I am of Level 2.
I'll give January's challenge a try too. I think I'll say that I'll take it slow. So level one with the option that if I can I will add more as I can.Categories:
