History Reading Challenge 2014 - A Sail to the Past: I am SO in!
**Challenge level**
I have set several levels to challenge ourselves along the year:
Student : read 1 to 3 books
Scholar : read 4 to 6 books
Historian : read 7 or more books
Right now, I'm aiming for Historian (I have a LOT of history reading to make up for) but I will be reading at least to Scholar.
I've been needing something like this for awhile. I have a lot of history books I've been wanting to read but they never seem to actually make it into my hands.
The full rules and how to join are in the link below. I urge any who want to join to check it out and think about doing this. Sometimes, even history majors need a little push to read some non-fiction.
