Reading Challenge 2015-January

I love reading books.Well you know that.

About a year ago I met Giannis in one of the crafty meetings of in my closet and he loves reading books too. Moreover he has got a great book related page called
So little sleeping and so much reading.

You can find it on facebook too. Also on instagram. And on etsy here.
Giannis started a reading challenge for 2015.

At first I thought I shouldn't take part as I read lots of books every year but I mainly read in summer the books I have in my bookcase shelves.So I didn't know if I could keep up with the challenge.

But Giannis' blogpost about the #readathon15 intrigued me so I decided to take part.
I joined in and I have to read at least 24 books in one year that fall into certain categories.
Some categories are simple like "A book you won or borrowed". Others are simply motivating like "A novel by an African writer".

What I really didn't expect was that in just the first month of January I would have finished 6 books!
We also have to take a picture of the books we read and post them on the page.

My photo of one of the books I read was chosen among 350 photos and you can find it in this article.
I am happy I found my motivation in reading every night before I go to bed.Thanks Giannis and So little sleeping and so much reading.
