ProseAndPetals | 342 comments New things are growing--it's spring! (My favorite season)

1. Read a book you have never read before.
2. Read a book from an author you have never read.
3. Start a new book series over 4 books long.
4. Read a genre you do not typically read.
5. Read a book in a country you have never visited.

7. Read a book with lots of animals in the Novel.
8. Read a book where it rains.
9. Read a kids book.

Karin | 173 comments When does this start? Do we include books we've already read since spring started in March, or starting from now?

That's what I thought, but wanted to check :) I'm not one for graphic novels, but will see what I can fit in. I have a kids book I just picked up from the library today before I saw this.

I figured as much! I've read graphic novels and nonfiction for challenges and wish I liked it better. I've been on book sites since 2013 and have read out of my comfort zone--it's a good thing to do.
