There are two book challenges I’d like to take part in. One is the I’m in…English Challenge, the other one the ABC-Challenge. In both cases I have to read at least 12 books and – that’s the best – I can use the same books for both challenges

The point of I’m in… is to read English books on a regular basis, in other words: once a month. The goal of the ABC-challenge is to read books which names start with different letters (you see, simply an excuse to read books ;)), preferably 26 but at least 12. Let’s see what’s on my TBR (to be read-pile) or in German SuB (= Stapel ungelesener Bücher):

• A
• Besser einfach – einfach besser: Das Haushaltssurvival-Buch – Bianka Bleier, Birgit Schilling ✓

Hm, it’s not as easy as I thought to find more books with different letters (and please do not wonder about my choice which letter ist the one, you can find the rules on the challange site) I really want to read this year.
