Fellow RPers and Readers, we are encouraging you to participate in Popsugar's 2015 Reading Challenge. This is aside from Laila's YA Challenge, which we should also participate!
Basically, you just have to read one book per category. I am not so sure but I think you cannot have the same book for another category. There are 50 categories and if you finish all you get to read 52 (because one of the categories is a trilogy).

Post your updates and anything you wish to say on this thread.

So here it is.

01. A book with more than 500 pages
02. A classic romance
03. A book that became a movie
04. A book published this year
05. A book with a number in the title
06. A book written by someone under 30
07. A book with nonhuman characters
08. A funny book
09. A book by a female author
10. A mystery or thriller
11. A book with a one word title
12. A book with short stories
13. A book set in a different country
14. A non-fiction book
15. A popular author's first book
16. A book from an author you love that you haven't read yet
17. A book a friend recommended
18. A Pulitzer Prize winning novel
19. A book based on a true story
20. A book at the bottom of your TBR list
21. A book your mom loves
22. A book that scares you
23. A book more than a 100 years old
24. A book based entirely on its cover
25. A book you were supposed to read in school and didn't
26. A memoir
27. A book with antonyms in the title
28. A book you can finish in a day
29. A book set somewhere you've always wanted to go
30. A book published the year you were born
31. A book with bad reviews
32. A Trilogy
33. A book from your childhood
34. A book with a love triangle
35. A book set in the future
36. A book set in high school
37. A book with a color in the title
38. A book that made you cry
39. A book with magic
40. A graphic novel
41. A book by an author you've never read before
42. A book you own but never read
43. A book that takes place in your hometown
44. A book that was originally written in another language
45. A book set during Christmas
46. A book written by an author with your same initials
