This month I have been reading a lot of long, heavy books. This means that there have been fewer of them.

I still have 'only' finshed 10 fiction categories. I probably ought to start planning how to finish more gategories instead of just reading whatever I pick up.

To read is at 272 after a library visit this morning added 6 books.

Original challenge is done.
15 challenges of 12 each is done.
I'm likely to complete more 12 challenges than 15 challenges in December, but several are close.
I would like to finish another Reformation book for 15 there, and I would like to make womens' memoirs a full category. These are both things I set up at the beginning of the year as areas I wanted to concentrate on.
