Popsugar Reading Challenge 2022

Another year, another reading challenge, another go at the PopSugar Reading Challenge 2022. I love getting ready for these, and choosing the books I want to read for the year. The love I have to set these up means I intend to take part even though I have a new baby and reading may not be a priority. I love making the list and the TBR and sharing it with you and seeing what you think of the books you’ve already read.

Am I mental taking part in the Popsugar Reading Challenge 2022? Probably but this sounded like such a great idea and I didn’t get to complete last years. I’m hoping having a challenge will make me more inclined to read and give me the focus and motivation I need!

Have you decided on any challenges this year? Are you taking part in the Popsugar Reading Challenge 2022? I would love to see which ones you’re taking part in and what books have taken your fancy!
