Rose Taylor | 2 comments I'm hoping to, it makes it fun and a lot of books I've chosen apply to multiple prompts in different challenges!

Sabrina (semisabrina) Whoa, 9 challenges! That's awesome!

I did the challenge this year to try to get some diversity back into my reading list as well. I'm not certain I'll even get the 52 on this challenge read, but I'm more exciting about reading than I have been in a while so I'm already counting it as a success!
