2017 Reading Challenges


It's that time again! Time to pick the challenges that I want to tackle, and work on keeping them updated. This year I'll be updating them both digitally, and paper based, with the hope that it will keep me more organized! I'm also only choosing two, and I can't wait to start!


I was so overwhelmed by this challenge last year that I gave up, so this year I'm challenging myself to hit at least 1/3 of these prompts. If I hit more, great! If not, that's okay too :).

Update 8/18:
10/40 prompts complete! (25%)
