2015 Reading Challenge

I haven't done much reading off my list this week.  I started Madeline L'Engle's The Small Rain and I'm about half-way through it this week.  I've been reading mind-candy Regency mysteries this week instead, which are great fun, although "lite" reading.  :)

I plan to finish up The Small Rain this week and then decide what I want to tackle next off the list. Two Rings might be the next one up.
