1. All of the books added to your list must be completed in 2020. To keep track of your yearly reads, it's easiest to use your Currently Reading shelf or add read dates to your book reviews.
2. Each book can only be used once. Even if the book you've read meets more than one requirement, you can only assign it to one. Shuffling them around as you read different books is perfectly fine!
3. As always books can cross over from other challenges you're participating in.
