I think the What’s in a Name Reading Challenge was the most fun of all the 63 challenges I attempted this year.

Here’s how it works: I had to read a book from each of the following categories. Simple, right? And deceptively challenging!

If you’re interested in trying your hand at the 2013 version, go here.
