I'm making pretty good progress.... but .... I'm not really where I want to be. So what does a bookworm do when overwhelmed with reading challenges? Why join another, of course! I'm signing up for The Japanese Literature Challenge 5! My only goal is to FINALLY read a Haruki Murakami book before the end of the year.
Happy Reading!!!

I need to do an update on my challeges too. I'm so behind in the TBR challenge. I'm almost done with War Through The Generations though.
My goodness, you've set out an ambitious path for yourself! How wonderful they all sound, and i'm so hoping you don't feel buried. Glad that you joined the JCL5; that is such a rewarding challenge to me, and I'm the hostess! It is through the participants that my knowledge of the genre has increased, and truly, when one has read Haruki Murakami? one can practically die knowing that there's not much else in fiction which needs to be discovered.
You could add one more to the library challenge and one to the Booker challenge AND complete the International Anita Brookner Day challenge by reading just one book, Hotel du Lac by July 16th. But maybe you already have your plans for IABD?...
