Hello readers!
Have you seen the new Barnes&Noble reading challenge yet?
I know, I know. Do we (I) need another reading challenge?
The answer is yes, of course!
I love reading challenges!
They are fantastic opportunities to challenge yourself, read more, or read more books in genres or age groups that you perhaps haven't read enough of in the past. I love how much I have branched out over the years thanks to the reading challenges I've participated in.
Of course, there's no pressure to read all of the books or finish the challenge but it's lots of fun to try!
