A lion is a cat, so why not? I'm going to read 'The Butterfly Lion' for my challenge

Random thing I noticed: The last book before the Advanced level is "a book you bought on a trip" on the popsugar site, not brought. Sorry if I'm being too OCD or stepping on toes.

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

Oh! Thanks for noticing, Anna. I'll have to check on it and edit it. I'll Brian my note that brought or bought is ok, if it was a transcription error. I'll check as soon as I'm back at my computer.

[Kristie, Moderator (Retired)]

I modified it. :)

I did this challenge in 2015 & 2016. It was fun! You read books you normally wouldn't! ( I have a newfound love for graphic novels now because of it!) But this year I wanted to read all the books I have bought but not yet read without worrying about if it fits the challenge, so I won't be participating this year.

But I like reading how you are experiencing it =) x

[Caraina]

I'll give it a shot
