Here's my Decades Challenge post from my blog "Thoughts of Joy...":


I'm posting my list for yet another challenge, but I am not sure if I will be able to follow through. I've been wanting to read these books and this challenge helps to motivate me, yet I don't want to feel any pressure; therefore, I give myself the permission to read what I want, when I want and if I want. If I complete it...great! If I don't, that's okay too. I will certainly give it a good try.

I LOVED IT! :)
