Lets say its both! :)
The following link is what inspired me to start this thread. One of the suggested categories is to read a Translated Work.

No of course not! :)"
Aww! ;)
A challenge that seems to be gaining popularity is the "I'll Try Anything Once" challenge. It is comprised of a list of categories that the reader then tries to match with their reading selections. The challenge was first introduced to me by our very own Mrs. J a few years ago. Here is an example of the list that I have been using for my ITAO challenge.
Here is an excellent example, by DoodlePanda, of just how creative this challenge can be: The Doodle Noodle Book Buffet
This thread can be used for category suggestions or category fulfillment recommendations.
DP, do you mind if I link to this challenge for a thread I'd like to start on category possibilities? Please & Thank you.

Never Give Up! Never Surrender!
I tried the Fire for a while too but went back to my beloved Paperwhite. The Fire was then gifted to my MIL who had recently lost her Nook to ebook reader haven.

Oh, that's awesome! :)

Oh, it's cool that you got a rec. :) Was the conversation as odd as you feared?

I can't wait for it to get here. I'm kind of ready for 2016 to end, to be honest.

Works for me! I wish you much reading mojo in the coming year!

Wow! And First! :D
DoodlePanda wrote: "Neat! :DI might just do that then!
Also: damn, you're quick at replying :P"
LOL! My GR notifications come up on my phone which is sitting right in front of me.

When you say you need a different ..."
Sure, as long as they're clearly marked.

When you say you need a different way to post it, what do you mean?
I would keep the list as you have it, but in it's own post, and then either strike through/check mark what you've done, put the title of the book that meets that criteria next to the category, or both.
Similar to what I did in this post.
First! :)Whatever you decide, I wish you the very best!
