Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

This year I am not going to make a set TBR. What I want to do is pick up whatever book I want and then when I am done with that book, I will see if it fits any of the topics. Every time I set a TBR it never gets done. So, maybe, if I don't set a TBR, I will actually meet all 52 topics.

I will put the topic and the book I ended up matching to it as I go.
