The Library Lady's 2019 Book Challenge

Who is ready for a book challenge???  I've decided that in addition to reading 40 books this year, I'd like to challenge myself a bit further.  (Can you tell I like challenges??)

Anyway, I'd love for you to join in, and use the #libraryladybookchallenge2019 so I can see what you are choosing to read for the challenge!

Get a free printable of this list HERE!

Most of the books on the challenge allow you a lot of choice.  The only specific item is a book by Agatha Christie.  I recently realized I have not read anything by her, and I realized I needed to fix that!  Maybe you do too!  If you choose to read a separate book for each item, that's great!  If you choose to allow one book to meet more than one item, that's good too!  

I will have to be honest - the graphic novel one may be hard for me as I don't find it easy to read graphic novels, but I will try to find a great one!  

I want to give you some resources to help you find some books that meet the requirements on the list to help you out.
