2022 reading challenges part 1

This year, I started tracking any book I read that met the challenge prompts.  This lead me to completed the PopSugar challenge twice!  There were many categories that I ended up having several books for.  I know there were books I read that probably could have fit into categories, but these are the ones I figured out.  Books that meet the prompt are listed below it!
