Popsugar Reading Challenge | Challenge TBR #1

Last year I did a series of posts about which books I was going to read for the different prompts of the different challenges I was doing it. There ended up being 4 posts but there wasn’t too much rhyme and reason to it. This year I thought I would do a more comprehensive list for each challenge and let you know what I was planning on reading.

Of course this could change and last year it did end up changing a little bit as books I picked up weren’t as great as I had hoped and ended up being DNFs.

I’ve left the advanced section because I think they will end up being duplicates when I finish the year of reading.
