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!
