I love joining these challenges, it’s half the fun just finding books that fit all the prompts. Since I have multiple challenges going on, I am not going all in on this one, it’s just for fun. I have about 30 selected. Overall, I am still shooting to complete 50 books a year. I will hit it one of these years, maybe this is the year. Virus allowing, I have three vacations on the books this year which will be filled with sunshine and reading. 🤞 I’m gonna need them.
Feel free to join along and check out the Ultimate Popsugar Reading Challenge group on Goodreads. Here we share our progress with others and discuss the books we chose. They also do a monthly read along together. January’s prompt is A book about do-overs or fresh starts (very fitting) and Dear Edward by Ann Napolitano was the book voted for it.
