Popsugar Reading Challenge | An Update
This challenge was originally meant to help me read more books out of my comfort zone and also get through some of the backlist books on my shelves. I will say that the start of the year was a lot easier than now, I am struggling against the restraint of already having my books picked out.
So here are all the books I have currently read.

So I have a long way to go and I think I’m going to have to start buckling down and getting reading if I have any chance of gettting through the rest of the prompts before the end of the year.
Let me know if you’re taking part in any challenges and what you’re reading for them.
I really like this idea. I think I’m going to join you if you don’t mind! Do you think I should backtrack the prompts to include all of my 2020 books or start in July?
Of course not! More the merrier! I would probably backtrack to be honest! Unless you think you can read all the prompts in the time left! <3
I have checked few box in this challenge but not these many. I’m sure you can finish it by year end.
Fingers crossed I would be super upset if I didn’t get through them all! <3
