I'm now halfway there and funny enough, it's split right down the middle with 13 fiction and 13 nonfiction.
(26/52)

Brava!!!
I just saw your response. I've been reading a ton of nonfiction the past few years or so and really wanted to make more effort on the fiction side. I'm now officially at the halfway point on this challenge with 13 fiction and 13 nonfiction. I've found a few real standouts too. So glad I challenged myself to go out of my comfort zone. =)
