Epic 2017 Reading Challenge

So I found a really epic reading challenge on Facebook the other day, and this is my thoughts on what I will read for each of the sections. I didn't put this up until after I finished, because I took a long time to actually find some books for the various prompts.

Some things I had to basically make a strategic guess on. Like, I don't know what book made me cry or what will. I have never actually cried while reading a book, not even with The Book Thief or The Boy in the Striped Pajamas which both made a lot of people cry. Oh well? Here's to that goal!!!
