2016 Reading Challenge

Hey, so I was told I had to post so here I am blabbing away.

My mom found this reading challenge and it is different then all the rest I have seen. This challenge suggests a topic for you to read, not a specific book. So one topic may be a classic novel or a humorous book. This opens you to read anything you want. And there are sections depending on how much you read. There is no prize to whom ever wins but it would be pretty cool to say you read some  of these books.
