This thread is for the 2015 Christian Reading Challenge beginning January 1, 2015, and is for your LISTS ONLY. Anyone can join in at any time (after Jan 1 of course) You can fill in your lists before the challenge starts, or you can fill it in as you go along. And, of course, you can change your lists up as time goes along too. You are not locked into your choices if you make them now. You are welcome to add your own categories to your list or if you would like you can send me a PM and I will see about adding them to the main list. All of the categories pertain to Christian books only, whether they are fiction or non-fiction.
Have Fun! Last Edited on: 12/29/14 3:33 PM ET - Total times edited: 1 |
