New Year’s Resolution Reading Challenge

Hello everyone!

Well my New Year has started with this lovely surprise from The Corner of Laura! I love Laura’s blog and after reading this challenge that she created I love it even more. Thank you so much to Laura for tagging me, otherwise I might of gate crashed! As I have been tagged from Day One I have until 12th February to complete this challenge. Lets see what I have chosen….

Rules

• Tag 5 or more other people.
• Read books that fit the description. I’ve put some recommendations in the original post to help you pick but you can read anything that fits the brief.
