1010 Challenge - 1/4 of the way there

I have done really well so far with this challenge. I am now a quarter of the way through, though I know this will slow down once I have read all the books that I have in my possession. I have made a stab out of all of the categories, except for Classics. I am reading Les Miserables, but as I am taking part in a readathon, it will be a long while before I have read it all. 8 of these are 1001 books, great to chip away at that list, though I know that soon the new edition will be published, adding even more to read!
