    So, if I start reading my copy of War and Peace in January for the pattern prompt (little comets), I might have finished it by October for the violent words prompt.

    When you mentioned A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking, which is one of my favourite books, I just knew I had to use the buzzwords to reread a bunch of books. I've already found 6/12, I'm sure the other ones will come to me in time!

    Would you (as well as members) say it is optimal to choose all the challenge books at the start of the year, or do you pick month by month?
