2015 Reading Challenge [Closed] discussion

I'm going to be *attempting* to chose books written by female, POC, disabled and queer authors; to add some diversity to my bookshelves, etc. This might not last the whole challenge if I start running out of time though...

I'll try trying to pick one book for each challenge, but might double up, depending on time (uni, etc).
25 will be a challenge.
Also won't be reading in order.
