Book Riot's 2017 Read Harder Challenge!

I'm crazy excited for this one! When I saw the categories for this years challenge I knew that it would actually be difficult for me to do. I love my "book ruts", I read what I like and I know I tend to like a limited scope of books. The beauty of this challenge though is that in order to complete it I have no choice but to expand my horizons, bookishly speaking.

The list is as follows:

• Read a book about sports
• Read a debut novel
• Read a book about books
• Read a book set in Central or South America written by a Central or South American author
• Read a book by an immigrant or with a central immigration narrative
• Read an all-ages comic
• Read a book published between 1900 and 1950
• Read a travel memoir
• Read a book you've read before
• Read a book that is set within 100 miles of your location
• Read a book that is set more than 5000 miles from your location
• Read a fantasy novel
• Read a nonfiction book about technology
• Read a book about war
• Read a YA or middle grade novel by an author who identifies as LGBTQ+
• Read a book that has been banned or frequently challenged in your country
• Read a classic by an author of color
• Read a superhero comic with a female lead
• Read a book in which a character of color goes on a spiritual journey.
• Read an LGBTQ+ romance novel. 
• Read a book published by a micropress
• Read a collection of stories by a woman
• Read a collection of poetry in translation on a theme other than love
• Read a book wherein all point-of-view characters are people of color

See what I mean?
