7jane THEME: Women authors (incl. transwomen)
1. one book per author/pair/group
2. if more than one author: half or majority must be women
3. unfinished books count (but rereads not though I can read them)
4. include only a few cookbooks
5. Religious books may be included if fits above rules and theme (religious books will be read from men too, but just not included in challenge numbers – the genre is my will-finish project)
+ book number may be expanded if wanted; chose the number because that was average last year at one point

Ray Congratulations on reaching your target. An eclectic mix, though there are several clear themes.

A few books we share - I also read No Logo this year. And a book on veggie curries - whats not to like?
