Artful Reader's Club - The Reading Challenge

Good Morning and a Happy New Year to you all, I start this 1 January with a brand new challenge from Darcy - this time to get us reading more - something I could definitely do with!  So here is the photo of my books for this year a rather eclectic mix, some have been on my bookshelf for an age, some are new Christmas books, some were cheap buys and some were 'must reads' according to hubby.  The key to all of them is that I've been a reluctant reader for a while.  I know what I like to read and therefore read, re-read and read them some more, rarely leaving my comfort zone.  There were a couple of other contenders, Charles Dickens 'A Christmas Carol' is something I wanted to read this year but didn't get around to it and would be a great December read in 2013 but I technically don't currently own it.  I also considered adding the next J R Ward book that will be released at some point this year, but I'll read that regardless and I feel that the challenge  is partly to do with reading things that we wouldn't normally.

First up on the list is The Diary of a Submissive, having subjected myself to the 50 Shades saga in 2012 this one is apparently written by a true life submissive, it got bought in one of those 2 for £7 deals when I couldn't identify anything else I fancied buying and has sat gathering dust ever since albeit probably only just over 2 months!

Let's just say it might make for some interesting art work!
