NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE CHALLENGE
START DATE: September 1, 2013

To American sports fans, fall means the return of the National Football League. While college football is my #1 (sports) love, the NFL is probably #2 on my list :) I know many of you aren’t sports fans at all, but I hope you’ll join us for this NFL themed reading challenge!
