Specific Challenges:
Nothin' specific. I guess... I don't want to make myself read something that doesn't capture me. Too often I try to read what's "right" or "influential" and it sometimes makes me bitter, reading something that doesn't really engage me. So this year I'm not forcing it. Just reading the things that are hard to put down.

Current Read(s): Norse Mythology by Neil Gaiman
Norse Myths by Martin J. Dougherty
Completed:Heart of the Sun Warrior by Sue Lynn Tan
I quit She Who Became The Sun. I got halfway though. It was more about military then I wanted. Fabulous writing though! I was only interested in two characters and they just...disappeared from the story. So I quit.
geez, I gotta find one I can finish!! hopefully, I can still learn mythology, but anyway....if not, that's fine. I guess.
I might read one in my most beloved series again. I'm so sick of quitting all these new books! I've quit like 4!! THIS is why I never read new books. God damn it. I'm mad, you guys.
