The Xepherus Reads 2015/2016 Reading Challenge: Update

-
Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!

Here is my updated Reading Challenge that began August 2015 and ends August 2016. I have tried to pre-fill categories to better understand what I would like to read. On occasion I will change the books to better reflect my current reading mood.

  Have fun with it. And feel free to use my list as a guide! I will update this list every time I finish a book. If a book that I read does not fit any of the 55 categories, I will list any extra below the list. Extra books will be added to the “read” count.
Books Read :

 Challenge Books Read (26/55)
Extra Books Read (21)
Total Books Read: (47)
