Helmet Reading Challenge 2021

We have a lot of Finnish members in our online book club and they made us all aware of the Helmet Reading Challenge. Helmet network (Helsinki Metropolitan Area Libraries) consists of the city libraries of Helsinki, Espoo, Kauniainen, and Vantaa. Every year, they publish a new list of challenges (books, music, games, films). Of course, the one interesting for me and all my blogger friends would be the book challenge of which there exists one with 52 books (so one for each week) and a little one (with 25 books). I will try to read as many books as possible for this challenge but won't promise that I will be able to do them all.
