LisaP's 3rd ATY Challenge

[Lisa]

This will be my third year of participating in the ATY challenge and fourth (or fifth?) year in the Popsugar Challenge. I've decided to try to do the 52 Book Club challenge for 2022 as well. I think the only way I'll be able to complete all of them will be to allow any given book read to count once towards each challenge...which leads to a secondary goal of seeing how few books overall I can read to complete all three challenges. 52 books would be the theoretical minimum, but I'm going to guess ahead of time that it will take me ~90 books.
