YEARLY CHALLENGE: The TBR Randomizer Challenge

my challenge

Going to try and get five random reads in as I go through my 20 (now 40) total book challenge this year, but I'll pick a new random book from the list each time (meaning I'm not setting my list ahead of time). It will also be conditional on me owning the book/being able to get the book as I often use my "to-read" section for ones to get later.

YEARLY CHALLENGE: Let's Turn Pages Challenge

Sign me up for 10,000 pages (wild guess). Will do my best to get pages for my Audible books, so we'll see what that equates. (Not going monthly as that will be too confusing at my rate)

Update August: Raising my total to 20,000 because of the large number of Audible books I'm finishing.
