ReadHarder Challenge Update

"Read Harder" a challenge hosted at BookRiot is three-quarters of the way over so I have completed 15 of the tasks/books so am a bit behind.

I have completed these (and linked them to my relevant posts): 

• A book written by someone when they were over the age of 65
• A book by a person whose gender is different from your own
• A book that is by or about someone from an indigenous culture 
• A microhistory 
• An audiobook
• A book that someone else has recommended to you
• A book that was originally published in another language
• A book published this year
• A book that you would consider a guilty pleasure
• A book that takes place in Asia
• A sci-fi novel
• A romance novel
• A self-improvement book
• A YA novel 
• A book published by an indie press

Currently in my TBR pile are:

• A collection of short stories 
• A book by or about someone that identifies as LGBTQ
• A collection of poetry
•  A National Book Award, Man Booker Prize or Pulitzer Prize winner from the last decade 
• A book that is a retelling of a classic story 
• A book by an author from Africa

I could use some recommendations for these:

• A book published before 1850
• A book written by someone when they were under the age of 25
• A graphic novel, a graphic memoir or a collection of comics of any kind
