Twelve Months. (Well, closer to 10 for me, but it's my own fault for procrastinating about signing up.) Twelve Books. Twelve categories. That is the theme of the Eclectic Challenges, which is proudly in its fifth year: the 2016 Eclectic Reader Challenge, hosted by Book'd Out.This year she has kindly provided some links to goodreads suggestions for the categories, some of which look a bit daunting to me.

Book about books? That's my jam. I'm reading one right now, so I'll count that. Likewise for YA, paranormal, and debut authors. Serial killer, steampunk, island and immigrants are a little off my beaten path. The nonfictions will be fun, and the Man Booker might slay me. So wish me luck!

Poke me when you hit the Steampunk one; I like the idea of steampunk, but haven't really gone there much. I did try a LEGO build or two.
