50 Book Challenge – 2014

Posted on January 1, 2015 by seanfaust

So around February of 2014 I had decided that I’ve been watching entirely too much television and started reading the books I had been given for the holidays and previous birthday. Around the time I finished The Help I first heard of the 50 Book Challenge.

I’ve always enjoyed reading. I guess I just needed to find a random motivator such as this to read much more than usual. Let’s just say I had a hell of a great year! I read some favorites again, The Stand being the third AND first time (first time reading the unabridged release) and god only knows how many times it makes it for The Catcher In The Rye.
