Getting myself a first page spot!

I did appallingly on the 2016 challenge, but I'm liking the categories a lot more this year (seems to be more fiction-based, rather than half the list wanting you to read memoirs and biographies), and can already think of a lot of rereads that I could do, if I was struggling to fill the list up.

Also 52 seems like a weird number.
