Thanks for hosting! I’m always trying to read a more diverse selection of books and I’m excited to add some banned books to the mix

Thanks for hosting! I love reading from a variety of genres, so I enjoy your challenge every year
Thank you for joining the MIA Reading Challenge! I love the variety in your four reading choices.
Thanks for hosting! Your list helped me get a great start on picking books. The first two I selected were books I’ve wanted to read for a while and the second two were recommended by my little sister, who wants to be an occupational therapist and has apparently read a number of the books on your list
Welcome to the LGBT Challenge! And yay, you’ll be reading Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe. #happiness

I’m excited to join in! I love challenges like this because to me they emphasize the good that reading can do. Thanks for hosting
Wow! I thought I was doing a lot of challenges, but I guess I was wrong. I have to admit, though, some of those look like fun. The problem is, I don’t think I can handle so many! I kind of challenged myself not to repeat books for challenges. So one book is only good for one challenge. Anyway, it looks like fun, and if you manage to achieve them all, then you’ll be my hero, haha. Good luck!
Haha, yeah, I think I’m probably doing more than is reasonable. Next year, I’ll probably narrow down the number of genre specific ones I’m doing to the genres I really care about reading more in, like translated fiction, non-fiction, and books with LGBT characters. I’m sure it makes it much harder to not re-use books! I do double dip with mine
