I didn’t sign up for any challenges in 2011, so it’s time to go crazy again!  Here are my goals for the year-wish me luck!

Between January 1 and December 31, 2012, read one book in each of the following categories:

1. A book with a topographical feature (land formation) in the title
2. A book with something you’d see in the sky in the title
3. A book with a creepy crawly in the title
4. A book with a type of house in the title
5. A book with something you’d carry in your pocket, purse, or backpack in the title
6. A book with a something you’d find on a calendar in the title

The challenge is to read your name in book title first letters, ultimately spelling out your name: SUSAN
