Around the Year in 52 Books Challenge

 I added one more Challenge to my list. It's Around the Year in 52 Books.  This Challenge is from Goodreads.

 


 

I'm not sure I'll be able to finish this one, as there are 52 topics, one per week, in the Challenge.  I've just finished reading the first one, and have the second one picked out, but some of the topics appear to be a little more difficult to satisfy.  But that is what a challenge is all about!
