I have made no progress on this prompt, despite having one of the books chosen for Bookopoly. I really need to get moving on these. However, I must admit to having chosen owned books that I have had difficulty getting myself to read.

It's probably the one prompt I'm not pushing myself on since I do own plenty and will read them on regular periods but with that offer on Scribd & I've also just seen Kindle Unlimited with 2 months free trial... I may lag a bit in the next months lol
