Mini-Challenge: 6 Degrees of Separation

This is a year long challenge to read 6 books that have some connection to each other. Start a book with any topic/idea of your choosing. When you've finished pick another book based on some factor in the first, ie setting, character, author, theme, actor played characters, or anything else you can think of. After 6 books, you can pick your ending topic/idea. To make things more challenging, you can choose your ending spot in advance, but that's up to you. If you have any questions feel free to ask in the welcome thread. Have fun!
