Reshelving Alexandria in 2024
I am being picky about new challenges for next year, honest. I have plenty of monthly themes to tackle, and I have discovered I am not a fan of bingo boards. And I am ignoring a lot of challenges because they are largely (or completely) based on Storygraph. I have a Storygraph account, and I logged in a few times, but it never pulled me in.
Anyway, yes, I am doing Around the Globe in 52 Books: A Literary Adventure for the Reshelving Alexandria challenge. It is another one-book-per-prompt challenge, and I will be updating this post with my progress throughout the year.
