I would like to join in. Sign me up for 25 please.

I left out the "Free Space" since I know myself and thus know that I would end up sneaking more urban fanatsy into the mix. But since the whole meaning of this challenge for me is to go and try out genres I normally don't read, no free space for me. (I already cut myselfe some slack in "forgetting" to enter chick lit and self help to the mix.)



I will just count the fields left to right top to bottom.

[ ] #01 Biography:
[ ] #02 Historical Nonfiction:
[ ] #03 Mystery or Thriller:
[ ] #04 Tragedy:
[✔] #05 Epic/High Fantasy: The Final Empire

[ ] #06 Memoir:
[ ] #07 Humor:
[ ] #08 Literary Fiction:
[ ] #09 Magical Realism: Jonanathan Strange and Mr. Norell
[✔] #10 Graphic Novel: Monstress, Vol. 1: Awakening

[ ] #11 Historical Fiction:
[ ] #12 Space Opera:
[ ] #13 Paranormal Romance:
[ ] #14 Historical Romance:
[ ] #15 Dystopian:

[ ] #16 Classics:
[ ] #17 Suspense: The Rook
[✔] #18 Short story or Novella: Wickedly Magical
[ ] #19 Horror:
[ ] #20 YA Fantasy:

[✔] #21 Urban Fantasy: Rivers of London
[ ] #22 Crime:
[ ] #23 Science Fiction:
[ ] #24 Science Nonfiction:
[ ] #25 Adventure:

There are a few genres in here from which I have multiple books on my to read pile for 2017 so I might decide in retrospect towards the end of the year which book I would like to count for this challenge.

Total as of 01-05-2017: 4/25
Bingos as of 01-05-2017: 0/12
