It’s that time of the year when reading challenges start getting completed. It’s such a good feeling, isn’t it? I’s also the time of the year when the new year challenges drop. Those of us who are easily distracted (me) really just want to focus on the new shiny!

Despite that, I’m still working hard on the challenges I picked up for 2023. I know I probably bit off more than I can chew, but I wanted it to be a challenge, right?

Anyway, I’m here to tell you that I officially completed the 52 Books in 52 Weeks Reading Challenge! I only recently learned that they have mini challenges throughout the year, so I absolutely did not do any of that. Maybe next year?
