Question:  I feel that I select the songs that are within my vocal register - do you have any suggestions of a song/songs that could be more challenging for me to learn?

Answer:  It isn't really a process of selecting a more challenging song - rather, how well one can perform any song. It is best to choose songs that are more melodic, not those that require a 'dramatic' or dynamic level. One should avoid material that places great demand on the voice. The 2nd thing to do is try to address the breaks - or the bridge as you go up to the 2nd bridege (i.e. Eb) one has to negotiate or smooth out the transition from where you are coming from to where you want to go.
