BOOKIE FRIENDS FAVORITES CHALLENGES 2012

Who doesn't like a new challenge for the up and coming year.  I do, that's who.  I am hoping that you are one of those type of people also.  I have found that through blogging, I have found others with a passion for books.  Not only that, but I have been able to find new authors to read and share with others. The challenge below will hopefully help us to find a few more fovorites authors and along the way a few more friends to share our books with.
