<h2><span style="color:#3366ff;"><strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">Other Things</span></strong></span></h2>
<p>I decided on my <a href="https://lafoiaveugle.wordpress.com/2016/01/05/top-ten-tuesday-bookish-resolutions/" target="_blank">yearly reading challenges!</a> I am doing <a href="http://www.bustle.com/articles/130754-bustlereads-challenge-2016-encourages-you-to-read-women-and-writers-of-color" target="_blank">Bustle&#8217;s Reading Challenge</a>, which encourages reading books by women and writes of color. I need to sit down and assign a book to a spot, but I&#8217;m excited. I am also doing <a href="http://modernmrsdarcy.com/2016-reading-challenge/">Modern Mrs. Darcy&#8217;s</a> reading challenge, which is 12 books in 12 different categories. As I finish books in either challenge, I&#8217;ll be sure to denote it on my reviews.</p>
<p>I also cleaned up my 30 Days Challenges and made a list of hiking places to check out near the city. I still need to make a list of things to check out in NYC.</p>
