GoodReads "Best Books of the Month" Challenge
Goodreads "YA Best Books of the Month" Challenge
Time Objective: Permanently Ongoing
Challenge Objective: Read a Goodreads "Best Books of the Month" book and a Goodreads "Best YA Books of the Month" for each month of each year.
Credits: One of the challenge topics from the rejected topics for the 2016 ATY challenge was to read a book from the GoodReads "Best of May." When I saw all the books listed for each month I thought it might be fun to read one of the best books for each month as a challenge. Jody alerted me to the YA version.
