I’m having so much fun doing these challenges!
What are you reading?

I’m currently reading Punching the Air and I already know this book is going to stick in my head for a long, long time just as Long Way Down has ever since I read it 2.5 years ago.
It looks like you have made good progress on your goals so far this year Kelle. I like those bit about books challenges too. I have been wondering about that final spring challenge – does that mean we have to take a picture of a book outside? I had to find a book on my must read list with a colour in the name. I’ve just started Apple by Eric Gansworth.
