Bookish Challenges discussion

Bookish Challenges is turning 2!!!

Happy anniversary to our group and to all of us! Two years of books, discussions, and discoveries deserve a special challenge. To say thank you to all of you and to celebrate this milestone, we've prepared a challenge inspired by the number two, the symbolism of second anniversaries, and more things that come in twos.

Sign-ups will close on September 30.
The challenge is open-ended.
