One more 2015 challenge. You can find the information at The Introverted Reader.

Basically, you read any nonfiction books during 2015 to qualify. I am going for the Master level, between sixteen and twenty books, which is the highest level possible.

Unlike the Classics challenge and the European reading one, this one should not require me to go out of my way to find books. I am mostly a nonfiction reader, especially science and history. I may impose a personal challenge to try to read from diverse nonfiction topics so that I don't fill up my list with twenty very similar books.

I'll post links to reviews here as I complete the books. January 1st can't come soon enough; I already have a mental list of books that I want to start right away!
