I write this blog to challenge myself, trying to get as much as I can out of the hundreds of millions of books in publication that get overshadowed by the latest and greatest.  I will always be a fan of the books and authors we know and love, but want to push myself to find the gems that we don’t know, or simply forgot about with the passage of time.   Take these challenges with me!  They aren’t too difficult, but this is your excuse to get off the beaten path, find something new, and enjoy everything the literary world has to offer.
