The 2023 PopSugar Reading Challenge!
Hello, readers!
Happy New Year!
This is the NINTH year of this reading challenge's existence and the fifth year I've participated!
This reading challenge provides 50 prompts in all to help readers read more books, whether that be from your shelves, more ebooks or audiobooks, or more books out of your comfort zones.
I don't put any pressure on myself to finish this challenge but participating and widening my reading horizons is always fun.
Want to join in?
