Yearly Challenge - Scavenger Hunt

2015 Yearly Challenge - Scavenger Hunt 1
Duration: 1/1/15 - 12/31/15
Progress: 23 of 26

Inspiration: I saw this on Pinterest via 9gag and thought it'd be fun to put it up in the group. In this challenge, you are on a scavenger hunt to finish as many of these little tidbits as possible. It's pretty hefty, so I'm splitting it into 2 parts.

As always, our challenges are low-pressure. You can choose if you want to do the whole thing or half or if one book can count for many bullets or just one. :)

This last bit is why I am in on this challenge, I like friendly, flexible challenges. I will try to complete the whole list this year, but will apply books to more than one item.
