Michelle's "I'll read what I want when I want to" plan [FINISHED]

[Michelle]

Last year I followed the plan strictly. It was a good experience for me, but I often wished I had the room to read books that I discovered along the year or were recommended to me. So this year, I'm not going to plan anymore. I'll read as my mood strikes and then see if the books can fit into the challenge categories.
