I love this Challenge hosted by Kathryn at Bookdate   and participated during 2016 (almost finished it, but not quite). As with most Challenges I join, I try to use them to lower the number of books on my TBR shelves. This is a perfect challenge to do that. My aim will therefore be to read as many books as possible from my own shelves.  
 You will find the rules under the link above, but in short, you have to read one book from each category below. One can be changed if you so like. Here are the categories (for easy updating I choose to list them. I am not entirely sure how to update the chart): 
 Non fiction -   The Pursuit of Glory - The Five Revolutions that made Modern Europe 1648 - 1815 by Tim Banning       On TBR for 2+ years -     Blondie by Joyce Carol Oates     More than 500 pages - Buddenbrooks by Thomas Mann Page Turner - Middle Grade Book - 2017 published - Published pre 2000 - An Instant of the Finger...
