There is a new card for 2016! If you participated in the 2015 challenge, and you're super-attached to the categories on that card, I won't mind if you stick with it. But I wanted to make a new card, I think it will keep it fun to have a new card each year. The new categories appear in bold. If there is enough interest, I can compose a list of examples/suggestions for each category. Or if there is a particular category that puzzles you, and you want suggestions, I could answer your specific question.

The categories:

• American male author
• Anthony Trollope
• Book That Has Been Adapted Into A Movie
• Charles Dickens
• American female author
• Book published 1871-1880
• Book about property, inheritance, economics
• Children's book of your choice
• Mystery, suspense, sensation
• Book published 1837-1849
• Book published 1881-1890
• Wilkie Collins
• Book by a European Author
• Book with a name as the title
• Book published 1861-1870
• Book published 1891-1901
• Book about courtship or marriage
• Book of your choice
• Speculative Fiction (Fantasy, Science Fiction, Time Travel, etc.)
• Book published 1850-1860
• British Female Author
• Fiction book set during the Victorian era
• Book or Movie about Queen Victoria
• Nonfiction book about the Victorian era
• British Male Author  

Rules:

• Fiction or nonfiction.
• Books, e-books, audio books all are fine.
• Books and movies can be reviewed together or separately.
• You can create a reading list if you want, but it's not a requirement
• If you do make a list, consider adding a list of five books you'd recommend to others
• If possible try to try a new-to-you author! I know it can be really tempting to stick with familiar favorites.
• Children's books published during these years should not be forgotten!
• Rereads are definitely allowed if you have favorites!
• A blog is not required, a review is not required, but, if you don't review please consider sharing what you read in a comment with one or two sentences of 'reaction' or 'response.' 
• Any qualifying book reviewed in 2016 counts towards the challenge. If you're like me, perhaps you try to schedule posts a week ahead of time. So if it's reviewed in 2016, it counts. Even if you finished the book the last week or two of 2015!
