The challenges below are in alphabetical order. It is my intention to keep this updated as I read. Unless prohibited by the challenge rules, there will be crossovers between the challenges. Obviously, I wouldn’t have a chance of completing these otherwise. As it is I might not complete all of them. I’m just participating for fun. The blog names are linked to the original challenge page. Books are linked to my review or Goodreads.
