Speaking of the Read Harder Challenge for 2020

Here is the 2020 Read Harder from Book Riot. I've actually already managed to knock a couple already without really trying to. There are only two that I really think are going to be a problem for me: numbers 8 and 13. 8 will be difficult because I really don't much like "reading" audiobooks. I have a hard time focusing when it's just sound. 13 will require some thought because there are very few cuisines that I haven't tried at some point. Mind you, I'm a little thin on many of the African cuisines outside of the northern regions, so that's probably where I will be looking. I'll keep the list updated as I go.
