Sounds like a wonderful way to approach reading for the year. I've 5 new books sitting waiting to be read right now, but I will watch along and pick up a few perhaps. xox
I like the sound of this challenge but I know myself too well to commit to it. I just know that I'd pick a category and love the book and them hie off on a earth for more books by the author order books on the topic... One of the great joys of reading is how it leads to more reading!
I love this list. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on all the books you've read. You should publish your list. I've got a fun suggestion for the "book with nonhuman characters." It's written by local author, Chris Rogers (ChrisRogers.com), and it's titled "Emissary." An alien inside the brain of a detective (and others) makes for some intriguing reading. Happy New Year.
Good Luck with the challenge! It sounds like a fun approach to exploring books.

My Best Friend by Sally Rosenbaum
I read 68 books in 2014.
I'm always looking for new ways to spice up my reading selections.
I found a link on Face Book from Susan Wittig Albert (one of my favorite mystery authors) to a Reading Challenge on Popsugar.
Looks like fun!
Here's a few of the selections:
- A book with more than 500 pages
- A classic romance
- A book that became a movie
- A book published this year
- A book with a number in the title
- A book with nonhuman characters
- A funny book
- A book by a female author
- A mystery or thriller
- A book with a one word title
- A book of short stories
- A book set in a different country
- A nonfiction book
- A popular author's first book
- A book from an author you love that you haven't read yet.
- A book a friend recommended
- A Pulitzer Prize winning book
- A book based on a true story
- A book at the bottom of your to-read list
- A book your Mom loves
- A book that scares you
- A book more than 100 years old
- A book based entirely on its cover
- A book you were supposed to read in school but didn't
- A memoir
and that's just the first half of the list!
I think I'll take the challenge.
Anyone else???

You're ambitious Sharon to read that many books in one year. The challenge looks like fun, good luck to complete it.
