This is a year round challenge (we could do April '16 to April '17 or see how many books we can fit into the April to December cycle, any suggestions?) and quite interesting as it comes from PopSugar, a popular media and technology company promoting latest trends and up-to-date lifestyle content for women. Just to reiterate, this is a year round challenge for moderate to avid book readers. Please find the details at:
http://www.popsugar.com/love/Reading-...
There are 26 varied categories listed for which you need to locate suitable books and read them. Once done, please mark them as read (this is round the year, so 26 isn't unachievable). For every category you finish, update this thread like this:
Category name - Book title, authorOR
✔ Category name - Book title, author
This is a trial challenge and depending on the members' enthusiasm and interest we'll decide whether to go ahead or not. I hope that you guys are pretty excited for this challenge and participate actively :D
Happy reading!
