Yvette--if all you get is one book--at least you tried it, right? We really use these challenges to encourage ourselves to read more books. And, if occasionally, the challenge calls for us to read something that is outside our normal habits, well, you never know, you might find another genre/series/author that you wouldn't have otherwise.
