Very nice challenge you have! Love seeing the various different categories you are reading from. I tend to only stick with one until I am somewhat sick of it and then I move to something else and eventually come full circle with it. This is a very well thought out challenge.
Why thank you very much, Robert! I can really get stuck in a rut, and this keeps me in discovery mode! Have a nice day!
