2015 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge

Since this challenge has worked so well for me for the last couple of years, I've signed up again for the Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge from The Book Vixen. The problem is, I read 80 books in 2014, so that's a huge number to beat. I'm off to a good start with 5 books already this month, but that's going to slow down because school has started, and I'll be spending much of my time grading college English papers.
