Okay, friends. This is a challenge that I pieced together using about a bajillion other challenges. I thought long and hard about the reading preferences of our group and what would be doable for most of us and this is what I've come up with. Please remember that we are a very low-key bunch and creative license most definitely qualifies. This is supposed to be fun, not stressful and we want everyone to participate, (if they want to, of course!)

Grey's 52 for 52 in 2020. A book a week!
