2021 Reading Challenge Progress Roundup

 Hello readers! 


This is my year-long reading challenge progress roundup where I will keep track of all of my reading goals and challenges.

Goodreads
I've been keeping my goal simple at 52 books for the past year or so. It's easier and less stressful to attempt to read at least one book a week these days! Going over makes me feel a bit more productive, too!
