one challenge complete

One of my goals for the year was to check off 75 challenges from my list.  I'm done.  I'm intentionally not setting a new number goal, although I'll still keep track of any more I complete.  I'm still trying for 125 total books for the year; GoodReads has snottily been reminding me that I've been behind schedule but shove it, GoodReads.
