So, if you want to sign up for the Children's Chapter Book Challenge, please do so by leaving a comment on her blog! You can simply sign up OR sign up and let us know what book you will be reading for the month of January!

Readers, I love challenges, but they can be difficult to remember to do. I'm off to take a nap after my very fine fun and friendly frolic last night. When I'm conscious, I'll look to see if there are other challenges we can do together.
