2016 #BustleReads Challenge

Ready to read more in 2016 and expand your reading material? Then this is the challenge for you!

You may already be taking part in the 2016 Reading Challenge, but I came across this one from a different source that emphasizes more diverse reading material. I know that's something that I could work on, and I bet I'm not alone. Some categories overlap, so I definitely think you could participate in both challenges to get a lot of awesome reading in this year!

Link to challenge, including suggestions [Note: the article itself is completely YWS-friendly, but there are currently links to some more adult-themed articles at the bottom. Just a heads up.]

Here's the coding for those who wish to participate. Feel free to share your own recommendations too!
