Well now that the reading year is well and truly underway, it occurred to me that I really want to try and read some more non-fiction this year, so despite my moratorium on signing up to anymore challenges, I appear to have done just that!

Eva’s, World Citizen Challenge, to be exact, and I was almost tempted to sign up to the top level of the challenge just to push my boundaries some more but in the end I decided to lower my horizons only slightly allow myself to go ‘above and beyond’ should I get carried away later!

So I’ve decided to go for the Major level which is to read five books, from at least three different categories.

For a full description of each category and to learn more about the challenge (and sign up yourself!) head on over to the dedicated blog, Eva has set up.

In the meantime here’s my provisional reading list:
