The 2021 Challenge


PopSugar’s new Reading Challenged dropped on December 1st. I’ve been planning like  mad. Since I started last year in December, I thought it’d be fine to start early this year too. That way I can post on January 1st with a new book. Problem is, I’m already reconsidering my choices. LOL.

Anyway, I have two books finished, and a third’s been started. Here’s a link to the PopSugar site with some info about the challenge if you would like to join me. Below are all the prompts for the year, including the challenge prompts. I’ve already made a List Challenge for myself with two choices for each category.
