Peace Corps Reading Challenge

Growing up I was a huge reader (especially if there was a horse or Harry Potter involved) but it's a hobby that I've been letting fall to the background as I got more and more addicted to YouTube...Woops.

​

Luckily, Peace Corps is full of avid readers! I've met a lot of people already that I can talk about books with and it's made me want to dedicate time to this amazing pastime and learning tool more habitually. A common goal for PCV's is to read 100 books during their service, and I'm going to join their number.

​

Every month I'll post what I've been reading here and each month I'll also write a bit of a blurb about my thoughts on the books I consumed. Feel free to recommend books--it's going to be a long 27 months!
