MJ | 176 comments Intriguing! I fear, however, that attempting this challenge while simultaneously trying to read 52 books this year for another challenge might do me in. I'll try to overlap my books between the two challenges as much as I can! I started a reading challenge last year to try to pare down my tbr list, but it did the opposite. I suspect this list won't help shorten my reading list either!

Pink | 5491 comments The main thing is to have fun with it. Like you say, having some overlap between challenges definitely helps too! Good luck :)

The group is called Around the Year in 52 Books. The group goes through a process of nominating and voting for the next year's 52 categories. It's a good group to get you to read books you might not otherwise even think about picking up.

Here's a link to the group:

Being ambitious is great! With goals it's all easier.
