The Hardest Reading Challenge You’ll Ever Do (HRCYED) - hosted by looski

A Book you helped Crowdfund
Kickstarter is now becoming a great place to support indie authors. Find a book up on kickstarter and back it and read it! If you do not have the means to support a crowdfund, you may find a book that was previously on kickstarter/indiegogo and read that.  You can use any crowdfunding website or campaign.
