I've started off well juggling this challenge and a personal challenge to read only books that I currently own (because I have shelves of them waiting to be read). Here's what I've read so far:5pts: Dumplin' by Julie Murphy
15pts: Don't judge a book by its cover: Running with Scissors by Augusten Burroughs
25pts: Punny title: The Royal We byHeather Cocks and Jessica Morgan
1/2 of the last category: I've read The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt and am currently reading Not Without My Sister: The True Story of Three Girls Violated and Betrayed by Those They Trusted by Kristina Jones, Celeste Jones, and Juliana Buhring
Good luck to everyone else!
