Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

I still have to pick out about half of the books I want to read. I'm at the mercy of the library (and books I already own), so I won't be reading them in order. But I'm excited about this challenge! I attempted the challenge last year, but only read 32 books. I didn't plan out what I was going to read, and then discovered a lot of books that didn't fit into any category, but I read them anyway. I can't wait to start this one though!

I get most of my books from the library too, so I sometimes read things out of order. Lots of interesting choices here, good luck with the challenge!
