Here's my reading challenge! I did not come up with any sort of plan, I'm just applying books I feel like reading to the list where they fit. A few things I've read this year I haven't put on here yet...I'll see where they fit best a bit later on to give myself some flexibility! I can foresee things getting a bit tricky later on when I start running out of challenges to check off...Current Count: 34/50
