Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

Since I didn't do the 2020 ATY Challenge, I'm joining in here as a fun prelude to the 2021 Challenge. And hopefully this will get me to be creative and strategic about my reads for December, where I hope to read whatever I haven't added to my challenge already next year!

I'm just going to focus on one phrase to start and actively look to fill that in December, but will keep an eye on reads that don't fit that might work for the other phrase. And then come January, look at what I read for the main challenge that works here.
