I was not going to sign up to any reading challenges this year. Well, other than the goodreads/storygraphs ‘read [x] books a year’ one. And I’ve got the Novel Companion which has a couple of challenges in it.

Then on like the 2nd, I ended up browsing the challenges on storygraph and signed up for a couple. And then Wendy at The Bashful Bookworm posted about a couple of challenges she signed up for and… now I’m signed up for a bunch of challenges.

Which leads me to making this post for some challenge accountability – and to have them all in one place!

Now, this seems like a lot. And not going to lie, having them all typed up in one place, makes me meep a little. But I also know lots of them will crossover and I’m excited to find books that cover allas many of the prompts as I can fill! Wish me luck?

Are you taking place in any reading challenges this year?
