2015 Reading Challenge Update #1

It's time for a reading challenge update! Given how busy the first few weeks of January have been already, I am bloody proud of the progress I made. I am taking this challenge seriously. I am outlining it and planning ahead - and I will accomplish it!!

So the 2015 Reading Challenge is this: throughout 2015, I have to read a book that matches each of these categories/challenges listed below. With each month's TBR, I've been picking out what books cover what challenges, and that gives me an idea of what ones I need to consciously plan for as the year progresses.
