2013-2014 Reading Challenges: A Century of Books

Host: Stuck in a Book (sign up page)
Duration: All of 2013 and 2014 (for me); I may be participating "unofficially" since I started in 2013. I saw the idea, loved it, but it wasn't an 'official' challenge when I started; now it is becoming official, but I don't want to start over!!!
