I will post monthly updates about where I am with these challenges. I do intend to tailor some of them because the books they ask for don't exist (a book set in my hometown) or aren't something I can find out (a book my mom loves) and because I want them to fit with what I read--so yes, I will be reading youth, young adult, and adult books. Additionally, I plan to use some books for multiple challenges. Some are the same (a book published this year) in two lists and some can fit multiple categories on different lists. So...those are my rules. ;)
