Pick Your Poison 2022

  In my utmost attempt at insanity, I have added another challenge that looks interesting.  The Pick your Poison challenge is hosted on the gregoryroad blog.

 This one has you set a goal of how many prompts from each category you attempt.  It runs from 13 to 104 prompts.  I believe I will go for the 26 choice this year and see if I cannot complete them with books overlapping other challenges.  Here's all the details for you to check it out on your own here.
