This challenge is hosted by Jay at Bibliophilopolis For this challenge, you select 52 stories to read in 2019 and then assign each of them to a card in a deck of cards, drawing one card each week and then reading the story that matches the card. I read most of last year's list, but I didn't finish it. This time, like Jay, I have included a wild card in each suit, so I can pick whatever I want for that card when I draw it.
This year, I think I will try to have a post every month about what I've read.
5/7/20: 12 read, I'm trying to catch up to 16 and then I will be back on track for 4 per month
