So, here are the rules...
This group is for anyone who wants to read books from 12 different categories in 2012. You can structure the categories in any way you choose, and you can read any number of books in each category. The format of your challenge is entirely up to you!

What a lovely challenge. I think this is a must for me, I love trying different genres, wonder what my 12 will be, I like some of your choices.
ReplyDeleteInteresting categories! I'm doing this one, too. In fact, I think it's going to be my main reading challenge for next year. Good luck with your 12-in-12!
ReplyDeleteWe have some of the same categories! I too am only reading 1 for each
