2015 Reading Challenge [Closed] discussion

I haven't yet figured out all of the books I'm going to read but I'm pretty excited already! :) Some of those books I've been meaning to read for years and some I've even bought but never bothered with after putting them on the shelf. What a great excuse to finally get to read them. Finishing this list is going to be a challenge, though. Hopefully I'll manage. :)
