One of my faves too!
From the comments I'm reading, it seems like everyone enjoys this challenge. I was actually going to have Phoenix retire it at the end of the year and come out with a new monthly challenge, so I need your opinions, please! Would you like me to have Phoenix keep posting this challenge and scrap the new one? Would you like me to have Phoenix post both this challenge
and
the new one? Or would you like to just have Phoenix post the new one?

Your challenge is to read as many books as you can that correspond to these listed prompts. Your sign up post is the post you should keep updated.
