2014 Goodreads Challenge 15/100

So it seems that it takes me about two weeks to get through five books – not a bad rate, I think. The last five included a four-part series about dragons, and my monthly paperback, this time a local author (who has also commissioned me to knit a Tom Baker scarf, which...
