Reading Challenge Update

Hey Elle - on hiatus Author Icon,

We've got just under two months left in 2015... how's your reading challenge holding up? I just did a quick assessment of my own to see how far behind I am and what kinds of stuff I need to read by the end of the year to accomplish my goal.

The good news is that I'm over three-quarters of the way done!
