At the half way mark I have 16 categories, and over 200 books. This is not enough for 16x16 in each, but I never expected that.

I didn't get a lot of reading done in September, either. However, I still have a good chance of finishing both challenges.

October is gone.

Needed to fill:

General Science Fiction 4
Shute 3
Short Stories 4
USA, Historical 4
Asia and Australia 3

I need to fill all 5, makes 18 books.

Biographies of women
Autobiography/Memoir
Other biography
Theology
Biography of religious figures

*Creative - arts, textiles
Cookbooks

--
Arts and Crafts 3
Austria 4
Medicine 6
Science 2
Women 6

I need to fill all 5, makes 21 books. Note that other biographies and theology will allow books to be moved to women.

Obviously this is doable if I pay a little attention to filling categories when chosing books. Current fiction won't help, but the nonfiction books are science and medicine.

Another month gone by already.

That's similar to 2015. (393/407) But I seem to be getting worse at keeping track.

Let's see how things go in 2017.
