All in the Cards

This is a challenge I originally created and posted in the Wacky group.

This challenge is based on a deck of cards, using the numbers 1 through 14. For each card you will have a list of tasks to complete. The challenge can be worked in any order, and you are welcome to work on the entire challenge all at the same time - meaning, card #1 does NOT have to be completed before moving on to card #2.

Please Note: If you choose to do the entire challenge, you will read 435 books total, so you will need to reserve at least 5 posts in order to keep your challenge all together as you work through it.
