2024 Category Challenge

***The 2025 Category Challenge group is now live! Come join us here.***

Welcome to the 2024 Category Challenge! The only rule for this challenge is that there are no rules. All members choose their own categories (as many or as few as they want, on whatever topics they choose), so everyone's challenge is going to look different. Some members use the same categories every year and change the theme. Some members put aside their challenges halfway through the year and start over. Whatever works for you!

We host optional year-long themed reads called CATs and KITs, as well as a BingoDOG. The planning of these challenges will begin in the last months of 2023. For more details throughout the year, see the welcome post, pinned posts, and list of wikis.
