Edited post 76...read one from each category except for one! I won't be getting it done in 2017. This was a fun challenge!

[Maaike]

Update to message 179: 9/10 done

✔ 100-199: Over kleur 152.145

So. I needed a philosophy/psychology book for this challenge, so I read The Praise of Folly by Erasmus, which I really liked, only to find out that it's classified as Latin satire instead of philosophy. Ugh. So I read Remarks on Color by Ludwig Wittgenstein, which I didn't like at all, but at least had the right classification. The things I do for silly challenges... *eyeroll emoji*

I actually finished all 10 of the books for 2017. I'm not sure why it wasn't posted because I finished it well before the end of the year. I must have done something wrong. Can you let me know so I don't do the same thing this year?

As far I can see, you did not post an update in this thread saying that you finished 10 books, or updated your original message. Updates in member corners are not checked when the challenge list is updated.
