PYP 25

  Pick Your Poison is hosted by Gregory Road on his blog   He structures his challenge into categories and then you select how many prompts from each category you plan to complete.  It is a nice choice for a variety of users   This is his final year as the 10th anniversary.   He does have his old challenges up if people want to go back and do them
