Kimberley Ash (kimberley_ash) | 35 comments So my challenge for 2015 is going to be 50 books - I've read 37 so far this year, so it's not a huge stretch, right?

*enter books and total here*

Kimberley Ash (kimberley_ash) | 35 comments More bored right now than well-organised, haha! The mini-challenge lists will likely change depending on what I can find in my local and school libraries, or free for Kindle!

Edit: Actually, I think I may have a copy of a '101 Classic Books' thing for DS hanging around somewhere...
