There are the "book a week" challenges, which means that I would need to read 12 books, but as I'm doubling, I am going to get away with less than that :-D

Read a cookbook cover to cover.
The Little Library Cookbook by Kate Young
I could also choose something to make to eat before eating a book for artificery class in Orilium :-D
Either spice cookies to eat while reading We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson
or posset to eat with The Wolves of Willoughby Chase by Joan Aiken

Read a book with under 500 Goodreads ratings.
Mistress of Mistresses by E.R. Eddison

Read an author local to you.
Dandy by Jan Guillou

Then there are some 10 books I need to read for the genre challenge.
Hopepunk, magical realism, matron lit, women's fiction, and biographies. 

Some of them are going to fulfill some of the prompts :-)

Then I need to read The Perks of Being a Wallflower by Stephen Chbosky for the "Everyone has read this but me" book club.

Then there's the Battle of the Bands. I'm in the AC/DC group :-) I'm glad about that because that's the five books that look most interesting to me right now :-D (Oh, I want to read all of them, of course, and if everything goes as planned, I will.)
