2016 Reading Challenge

A new challenge has been issued, one slightly shorter than last year's. There are a few curveball categories (a romance set in the future..? Maybe I can count The Moon is a Harsh Mistress), but it looks like a fun set.  For those on facebook who want to throw in with others who have taken up the challenge, there is a group called the 2016 Dumbledore is Dead and Prim Doesn't Feel Too Well Reading Challenge.
