The only one I'm missing is the Oprah Book Club prompt, because I initially chose Ruby but I disliked it so much that I had to give up, and that missed up my challenge schedule :/

I chose a new one, As I Lay Dying, and I plan to read it first thing in 2017, before starting the new year's challenge, though :)

I know I'm a little late to this post, but I've been watching this community for a bit for excellent ideas (it was super helpful in the satire category!). You'll see I've got a couple themes; I was finishing up series (the Cinder books and Justin Cronin's passage trilogy) and also got so hooked on Ms. Peregrine's books that I read all three. I'm also reading my way through the Agatha Christie catalog mostly outside of this challenge, which is so fun! So here's my list for this year's challenge:
