Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

This is my first year participating in the AtY challenge. I normally do the Pop Sugar challenge, and in one of the discussion boards someone mentioned this one and it sounded like fun!

I am very strict with myself, so the plan is to use different books for each challenge that I'm participating in, but we'll see how that goes! Reading enough books isn't usually a problem, but sometimes I'm not in the mood for the topics of a challenge, so actually completing the prompts can sometimes be an issue. I'm also going to try to complete the topics during the designated week since that seems to be the point of "around the year." But again, we'll see!
