A Book Challenge

I have a problem....

A mountain of them, to be exact. 

I love to read. And there lies my problem. I see so many good books out there and feel compelled to buy them! All of them. 

So needless to say, I'm way behind on my reading. My excitement for these books have gotten the better of me. And that's not including all the books that are living on my Kindle. Ha! 

AND a lot of these books are a part of a series, so that means more books in the future. 

Anyone else have a problem that's similar? Or anyone else just love to read and up for a little challenge? 

I'm going to challenge myself to read 2-4 books per month. Depending on the speed of your reading will determine how many books you can do. So, if you know you read fast, then lets go with 3-4 and if you read a little slower then shoot for 2 per month. 

If you're up for it, then comment below so I know who's all with me and with the number of books you're challenging yourself to read each month. We could form our own little book club so to speak. Keep each other accountable!

It's time for some serious reading to go down! So pick up your first book and lets go!
