PopSugar Challenge

[Rach , Moderator]

Oh yes, It is that time again for the annual PopSugar challenge! I always love these lists because they really make you focus on specific books and may very well force you to read outside of your comfort zone, experiencing a new genre and book and author! LOVE.

Duration: January 1st, 2022 to January 1st, 2023


Rules:
-Try to finish as many possible during the duration of the challenge & HAVE FUN.
-As long as you are 50 pages away from finishing the book by January 1st, you can use it for the challenge!


Feel free to drop in suggestions or help other members out if they are looking for recs!
