* create a sign up post on your blog - if you want - and post the link here in the comments, so I will know that you're in;

RispondiEliminaHello Valentina! Thanks for inviting me via my blog Edith's Miscellany to participate again. And here I am. See my general post with all the challenges - including yours - that I signed up for in 2017 at http://edith-lagraziana.blogspot.com/2017/01/2017-reading-challenges.html.

I'm terrible at commenting throughout the year. I read 82 books by women last year. I'll aim for at least 50 this year.
RispondiEliminaCiao.
RispondiEliminaProvo a partecipare per il livello Baby Girl.
Il mio blog è https://progettofelice.wordpress.com/ e per ora ho condiviso il banner tra le sfide che mi ripropongo di seguire a gennaio (ma che poi miseramente abbandono col trascorrere dei mesi).
Appena ho un attimo, scrivo un post dedicato a questa sfida.
