Reading challenge completed

 If you remember, I had a post about finding a reading challenge and asking my sister in law to take part in it with me.  I am finally finished!  Took me a couple days longer due to being burnt out and not reading any of the books for a couple of months, then I got a job and my reading time was cut dramatically.  But I'm done and probably won't take part in another one for a long time.  I did find some pretty interesting topics and categories, but most were time consuming and boring.  

Here's the official list with my choices:

-a book with 500 pages-Reached

-a classic romance-Pursuasion
