- Books may not overlap categories; you need a different book for each category.
- Creativity for matching the categories is allowed.
- You do not have to make a list of books before hand.
- You do not have to read through the categories in any particular order.

Welcome to the challenge! The good news about challenges is that there are no challenge police, so do your best and if you get distracted and don't finish, so what?
I love your titles and I especially like the ones for the music term and the title. Good going!
