Mom's Challenge! (or to you - Ellie Oberth)
REPORTER CHALLENGE
The challenge runs from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2015.
Rules: For this challenge – Each book can only be used for 1 category (Ex: Agatha Christie’s Mousetrap – victim is strangled, the setting is in England and they are cut off from the world due to bad weather. But you can only place this story in 1 of the categories)
You don’t have to choose your books in advance. If you do, you can change your list at any time during the year.
Books can be in any format – paper, ebooks, audio…
Crossovers with other challenges are fine.
