Fairly satisfied. Never expected to complete this especially with things as vague as "Read the first book in a series by a person of color". Some of this I think, I can repeat every year like Audie-winners, 500 pages, feminist themes, etc.
The 2017 list is bleh. Must say these challenges are pretty tough.
