The Nonfiction Reading Challenge is hosted by The Introverted Reader It runs between 1 January to 31 December 2015. You can sign up any time throughout the year.
Unlike some of the challenges I€™ve joined this one really is a challenge for me, because although I like to read non-fiction I often find my self opting for fiction.

The Challenge: Read any non-fiction book(s), adult or young adult.That€™s it. You can choose anything. Memoirs, History, Travel €“ absolutely anything that is classified as non-fiction counts for this challenge.
The levels:
Dilettante€“Read 1-5 non-fiction books
Explorer€“Read 6-10
Seeker€“Read 11-15
Master€“Read 16-20
I am aiming at the Seeker level and hoping to read more than 12 books (my total for last year!)
