50 Book and Film Challenge 2012
This year I decided to take part in the 50 Book challenge. My future brother in law suggested that, as it is a well known fact that I have seen a surprisingly small amount of films, I should do a 50 Film Challenge as well.
It works as follows… Over the next year, I will endeavour to read 50+ Books, and watch 50+ films. Reading/Watching something you’ve read/watched before is allowed, counting something twice within the year is not. I.e. if I decide to watch a Persuasion more than once this year (which I will) it counts once.
This page, if I can make it work, is where I will list the flims and books I have watched and read this year, and keep a log of my challenge.
