1. Getting Started with:
*Fiction: literary, contemporary, and historical/ All the Light We Cannot See

Who doesn't enjoy spending an afternoon at a bookshop?
Wander the aisles, randomly pick up a book you've never heard of, and rifle its pages.
Or, head straight to your favorite section and realize you can't afford all the books you wish you could buy.
Pick through the sales table, hoping against hope for an undiscovered gem.

Where were we? Oh yes, this quarterly challenge asks you to read any books of your choice, but each one must belong to a different genre or subgenre.
