So I have 4 challenges I'm trying to work on for 2016, all of which should be fairly easy to do (I hope!)

My 4 challenges are:
1. Read 100 Books
2. Bilbiophile Reading Group's 2016 Categories Challenge
3. Play Book Tag's Shelfagories Challenge
4. Lisa's Pyramid Challenge

I have these challenges also posted on my blog.

Wish me luck!

Challenge #1: Read 100 Books

Simple. 100 books. I think I can make it, but I'll be happy with 80.

Challenge #2: Bibliophile Reading Group's 2016 Categories Challenge

This challenge is hosted by the Bibliophile Reading Group. Basically you read a book that fulfills the listed categories. Each completed book is worth 1 pt, and the monthly themed books are worth 2 pts. Once you've reached 20 pts, then you get entered into BRG's raffle.

Since I'm too lazy to repost the whole thing, I have the link to the challenge folder and the link to my personal post listed below.
