I'm starting to skip around because I'm so behind on this challenge yet I did complete 29 books already. I should just plug them into the weeks out of order.
Read 40 books already for the year. Just now plugging in the books I read that fit into some of the categories above.
That's a good way to do it! Reading in order is very difficult and can easily kill your reading mojo ;)
