First
and foremost, have fun. Don't stress. No one is being judged, graded,
or penalized. Even if you finish only one book the entire challenge, if
you enjoy it and it's an accomplishment for you, then that's awesome.
The
challenge will run from JANUARY 1, 2022 to APRIL 31, 2022. No books
started before 12 a.m. on January 1 or finished after 11:59 p.m. on April 30 will count. (We live in different time zones--follow according to
your own time zone.)
Each book must be at least 200 pages long. Audio books are fine too.
Read one book for each category.
For full details see Erin's page on Facebook (link above).

Sorry folks, but I have been getting an incredible amount of spam. I have adjusted my settings and all messages will be moderated from now on. If that does not take care of the problem then I will have to go to the "Prove You're Not a Robot" thing--which I hate as much as you do.
If your name does not appear automatically, please tell me your name in the comment. Otherwise you will just show up as "Unknown." Thanks!
