I'll aim for all 50. I made a preliminary list that I'm hoping to not stray too far from since most are books I'm really excited for. But I also never read full synopses, so if any of my picks don't fit the category please let me know. :) *Will strike out the ones I've finished, and add my rating. Might also read several books from the same category.
