My plan is to not do much planning. I'm going to try to do most of this challenge using only library books. I'm hoping this will force me to read new authors as I plan to read a book a week and given the current hold times of the books I'm waiting for, this won't be possible without branching out. I will be listing potential titles in text and using book covers for my finishes.
Recommendations are definitely welcome!
