I have a whole list of Perpetual Reading Challenges that I've been trying to tackle for the past few years. To help myself out, I make a yearly Perpetual Reading Challenge. This year, I'm going to shoot for 30 books to read off my perpetual lists. I have a list of 39 choices to start with. A lot of these books are from my own shelves. Some of these I will be visiting the library to acquire. The words in parentheses are in reference to which perpetual challenges they come from. Pop on over to my Perpetual Reading Challenge Page to see the complete lists.
