I'm probably doing better than my list says I am, since I didn't join up until August, so I probably forgot some of the books I read earlier in the year. Ah, well.
Finally managed to read a book which fits a category... Erika O'Rourke is the author but sneakily just using the O and R for name initials because I can find no accessible book that really does have them...
10 more books to go, three months DD:

@TheClockworkConjurer : Consider it for both the cases and let me know if you ever find an author of your initials, I'd like to see how this goes. xD

*updates the list* Well, I think that's the end?(!) of the challenge for me. :'c The struggle of finding relevant books is real, people! I wish my area had a cooler library, or atleast rich me! I now know why people opt for buying books through internet and go all techie. But the feel of new/old books in hand, though ;-; Also, exams are here. Pre-adulting is hard, and you did not hear that from me first. xD
I wish I was fifty years old in a slightly raised house with wooden shelfs full of books that would update itself magically, and a balcony with the view of the gigantic snowy Himalayas. I'd just sit in an easy-chair with some hot chai and read away. Heh! I hereby declare of pushing this challenge and my believes to post-adulting. c':

@Dreamy you did wonderful! I can understand though, having a limited place to find books to read and especially ones that qualify as the list starts to narrow down. I just hope the challenge was fun for you and that you were able to read some good books <3

*wonders if a book that scared my younger self would count as 'a book that scares you'*
There's still a few that I'm struggling to tick off from the list, but I'm feeling like I'm getting there. Just did a little shuffling, which filled in a few books.
The below's just a note to self so I remember what I'm planning to read for what.
Spoiler! :
Julius Caesar - book you were supposed to read Noah's Law - book you started but never finished Burial Rites - based off a true story (??) To Kill a Mockingbird - Pulitzer prize Harry Potter - year you were born
Two more months left! How is everyone doing? I'm struggling to get the last few done. Any suggestions for a graphic novel?
I have six more left to do- A book based on a true story: Man-eaters of Tsavo A book with bad reviews: Lolita? A book that made you cry: A graphic novel: A book that takes place in your hometown: I'm probably going to read something that takes place in my homeland God of Small Things A banned book: Satanic Verses
I also replaced A book at the bottom of your to read list with A Legal thriller (being a law student and all) XD
If Novels are a bucket of imagination, Short story is a bucket of imagination made to fit a mug.
I'm planning to read Carrie by Stephan King for the "graphic novel" Also, I don't think there are many books on Chennai or even Tamil Nadu, which is crazy! Except of course, Two states which I have read already. -.- Since I've made sure to try new books by the authors I haven't read, it's pretty hard to say which one will make me cry. o.O
And Gods of small things! <3 oh that made me cry! :')

I don't know how big you are on the crying factor. It really depends on the purpose. The book that I chose for made me cry was one which made me cry because of the high suspense xD
But some sad books most people end up crying over are: The Fault in Our Stars, All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven (being made into a movie too) and also The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.
