I saw this long term (sort of) challenge over at . Here's what Bev said about it:




SIMON OVER AT STUCK IN A BOOK DECIDED TO WORK ON CHALLENGE WHERE YOU READ ONE BOOK FOR EVERY YEAR OF THE 20TH CENTURY, IN AS MUCH TIME AS (AND IN WHATEVER ORDER) YOU CHOOSE. HE AND CLAIRE COMPLETED THEIR CENTURY LAST YEAR AND ARE GEARING UP FOR ANOTHER ROUND IN 2014. I, BEING THE CHALLENGAHOLIC THAT I AM, WILL BE JOINING THEM.



I'm going to work on my century in 4 parts...25 books a year for 4 years (one year will be 24). I've already added in what I'm planning to read this year, incorporating books from a couple of other yearly challenges I've signed up for this year and the rest to help me make a dent in my challenge. (I added one over the 25 for an alternate choice and of course I can change any title out for another if I so choose)
