With this Challenge you can choose a path or mix and max.
"Historical" Headlines you will pick a date that is significant in your life (birth, marriage, got a car, etc...) and find a headline for that date then read a book with that headline in the book.

or

Current Headlines- pick a current headline each month and read a book that matches is.

Enjoy!
