My list has been up since October lol. I have three challenges on my plan (4 if you count my girls challenge) so some of the books we are both reading may be for different challenges/prompts. My thread is here:https://www.goodreads.com/topic/show/...
I had heard of, but forgotten about The Unlikely Pilgrimage. I added it to my TBR, and am anxious to hear how you like it
