British Books Challenge 2015





I will be doing the British Books Challenge in 2015. To sign up yourself go to Michelle's sign up post here

I have no idea exactly what books I will be reading for it or how many. I tend to read a lot of UK authors just as a matter of course. In 2014 I read over 100 British Books so I am certain I'll meet the challenge of reading 12 pretty soon into the challenge.
