Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

1. Read at least 120 books.
2. Complete both the challenge and sub-challenge for all four seasons in the Reading With Style Challenge.
3. Complete the Year in 52 Books challenge. See my plan at https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
4. Complete the A to Z challenge using the initials of novel authors. (One of my reading groups breaks this challenge down to books at least 10 years old and those which are younger than 10 years- so, I may actually have three lists for this but in addition, I will do a non-fiction list as well...with less hope that I will complete that one.)
5. Complete the A to Z Book Title challenge.
6. I'll also keep track of...but don't expect to complete the Pop Sugar challenge and the Rejected Categories Challenge.

8. And just for fun.... with the new group Reading Map...I will try to add a book corresponding to 26 places using the alphabet.

9. In line with the Mapping idea I also joined the 666 challenge on Bookcrossing.com http://www.bookcrossing.com/forum/6/5... -
read 6 books which are set in OR are written by an author from 6 different countries in each of the 6 continents within the 12 month period of the 1st day of 2016 and the last. You cannot count books of the same country twice; you cannot count one book for more than one country. NOTE - The United Kingdom is made up of England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales. These are not considered independent countries.

The 6 continents are:
AFRICA
ASIA (INCL. MIDDLE EAST & S.E. ASIA)
EUROPE
NORTH AMERICA (INCL. CENTRAL AMERICA & THE CARIBBEAN)
PACIFIC (INCL. ANTARCTICA)
SOUTH AMERICA
I will not try to do all new books for each challenge...there will be multiple overlapping.

I'm also adopting this goal from one of the members in the Reading with Style group:
10. "Read as many books published in different years from 1900 to 2016, minimum of 60."
Boy..I think my OCD is showing.
