Thank you Cassandra and Zara. I am a fast reader but 2 of these books were quite small. I needed them for other challenges. It also helps that this is a slow month for me with too many major snow storms that have kept me inside.

I missed this one when I was signing up for challenges, but I think I can retroactively make this work based on what I've already read this year. Count me down for all of them. This one sounds pretty flexible so I'm going to try for 100% here. Fingers crossed!
