deweydecimalchallengeI have officially joined my second challenge.  It is a non-fiction challenge and the goal is to read one book from each group of the Dewey Decimal System.  I’ve never been one for non-fiction, but I read it occasionally.  This will get me going!  I think that’s enough for this year, so we’ll see how it goes!

Question of the week:  When you join a challenge do you read the books in any particular order?  Or do you just read in any old order?

The rules for the Dewey Decimal Challenge can be found here.

Now I get to find the books I want to read!  I had such a good time doing that yesterday for the A to Z Challenge I really can’t wait!

Found over at A Striped Armchair.
