I've just seen the Storygraph challenge - that makes it easier to keep track, thanks! However I noticed that the announcement and card link are the ones from 2024 so you're aware :)

Thanks! I knew I was missing some update somewhere. Should be fixed now.

Just like last year, we've pre-seeded the Storygraph challenge with ~500 (mostly fiction) books from various genres, if you're looking for ideas (no account required to browse!).

ETA: The returning categories have different book suggestions from last year, so for even more ideas for those squares, check last year's Storygraph, too.
