ally  ¯\(ツ)/¯ (allykennedy) | 1002 comments I've seen this challenge in a few places. It's called the "I'll Try Anything Once Challenge". I'll be calling it the "I'll Try Certain Things Once Challenge".

Although I enjoy the idea of expanding my horizons, there are certain categories I have zero interest in trying, so I've removed them and added some others in their place.

My goal for 2015 is to read 52 books. This list has 30, which I feel is realistic.
