Alexx's ATY in 52 Books 2023 Challenge

[Alexx]

Going into my 7th year of taking part in this challenge, and maybe, just maybe, 2023 will finally be the year I complete the challenge? At this rate, I'll take completing half the challenge! I usually read in order, but last year I tried a new approach and just picked prompts at random, which I really enjoyed, so I'm doing it again this year! Happy reading everyone :)
