Conny | 638 comments This is my third ATY challenge but the first time I actively participated in the voting process, so I am quite invested in it and very eager for it to start!
I will allow re-reads and cross-challenge double-dipping (i. e. counting the same book for both this challenge and PopSugar), although I will try to keep the former to a reasonable minimum and avoid the latter if at all possible. I will, once again, try to fill as many categories as I can from my existing TBR. We'll see how that goes.
Everything subject to change as favorite authors release new books or thoughtful friends give me books I did not have on my radar at first.
I haven't yet decided whether I'll try to read in order this time. I guess that depends on whether I'll have a fully completed plan by January 1 and how eager I am to read the books I pledged for the later categories.

I've also decided to add a Rejects challenge: I'll be matching every book that I read outside of the main challenge (e.g. for PopSugar or a spontaneous, unplanned read) with a prompt that didn't make the final list. I'm eager to see how it goes! As a small difficulty, I will try to use only one prompt per set and not start over until I've used one from each poll. Tally in the second post.
