Hello Everyone, This is my first time doing the ATY challenge. I've participated in the PopSugar challenge the last couple of years, but despite reading ~50 books per year I typically fill only half of the prompts. I'm hoping with a little planning that I might do better this year. Ideally, I'd like to read 102 unique books to fill all the prompts, but to be more realistic I'm allowing myself to use the same book once in each challenge. Hopefully I'll still increase my reading to at least 75 books in a year.

New Challenge! Since I'm halfway through both the ATY challenge and the Pop Sugar yearly challenge, and we're only a third of the way through the year, I've decided to add another yearly challenge to my goal - the color challenge. Now I'll need to read at least 120 books to be able to meet all the prompts, which I'm on track to do. I'm starting this challenge mid-April, but if I've read a book in 2020 already that hasn't fit a prompt for ATY or PS, I'll add it in here.
