The 1010 Challenge

For the 1010 Challenge, I will be reading books that fit into 10 different categories; some categories will be traditional genres but some might be a little more creative in order to get the maximum number of books off of my endless TBR pile! For a little extra challenge, I am going to read at least three books per category. I'm sure some of my categories will be complete in a couple of months but some will probably take the entire year!

For the most part, I am not going to decide in advance what books I will read for each category, instead I'll just file them where they fit. But, there are a few books that are physically on my shelf at home that I am determined to finally read! I have put those in the list already but everything is subject to change :) The books listed haven't been read until they link to a review!
