update #16:
25/25 completed
and
5/5 bonus prompts completed

At one point, I changed my challenge goal down to 13 for reasons of a personal nature that interrupted my reading. However, I have been back to reading for the last 3 months and find that I am able to complete my original challenge goal of 25. So I am re-establishing a goal of 25 prompts + 5 bonus prompts. And I have now completed them all! Thanks for a wonderful, fun challenge that I'm looking forward to again in 2023!
