Around the Year in 52 Books discussion

As I am wrapping up a number of the challenges, I put together a home-grown challenge to round out the year and extend forward. Rather than focus on so many books by a certain age, I am giving myself 800 days (starting today and running to November 18, 2020) to read 80 books. Overlaps allowed with other challenges as appropriate but no overlaps within the challenge.

To get to 80 books I will read:
15 books on the Great American Read list
5 books satisfying a rejected ATY prompt
10 books from my TBR list 1-250
10 books from my TBR list 251-550
10 books by a non-US author
15 books on Bibliophile: An Illustrated Miscellany lists (my new favorite list source)
5 owned books (not previously read)
10 library finds (books that look intriguing, calling my name from the shelves).

This is a great challenge Edie!!! I love how you combined a bunch of ideas. Have fun:-)

I think it sounds really cool, too!

I like this too! You're giving me some things to think about with upcoming challenges!

I like how you've divided up your books for your challenge. Good luck!

What a fun challenge!

This sounds like a great challenge. Have fun!

Great idea! Have fun!

7 completed... 40 days into the challenge. Not surprising it is going quickly since I am not juggling as many other challenges for now.
