My challenge is 75 again this year. I might try the categories this year - I think I'd hit most of them anyway.
Has the challenge changed? I"m looking for the place to set my goal with the icon as in year's past. Please let me know
My goal is 26 books - that's one every two weeks. Being a high school English teacher, I focus mainly on Classics, so this will be a GREAT challenge for me!!! I will also be joining a Book Club with fellow English teachers that consists of reading 24 books from different countries that their high schoolers are required to read. Multi-tasking at its finest! My TBR pile will live on long after I die - but I'm going to give it the old college try. Thank you Anne for putting this together!!

My goal is 20 books. I was looking for the challenge that we had in 2016 where we could put what books we want to read and completed. Will that template be coming out.

Because the list is so long and people are approaching the challenge differently, I thought that each of us could create our own template here. It looks like several people have pulled the categories they want to read and started their list. Some of us might be doing it more hit or miss - I plan to add the categories as I go because I'm not sure which ones I'll end up reading!
I hope this helps.
