February Monthly Summary

Another month has gone by and I managed to fit 20 books into February. Here's my summary of how I did in my 3 challenges. I read 19 books, including plays. I'm allowing overlap between the 3 challenges because the 101010 Challenge is monster, but no overlap within that challenge.


Color Challenge (3/9)

-"Paper Towns"
-"The Bean Trees"
