2023 Popsugar Reading Challenge

[Terhi, Apukäsi]

Lainaus sivuilta:
Why do you read? No matter your motivation — relaxation, distraction, entertainment — the POPSUGAR Reading Challenge is a great way for you to expand your horizons and, who knows, maybe even discover a new favourite subgenre: looking at you, "A book with mythical creatures."

For this ninth iteration of the challenge, we're subtly leaning into the nostalgia all around us. From Y2K fashion (TW: low rise jeans) to reboots and the resurgence of the film camera, it's no secret that trends of the past are now of the moment. With prompts like "A book you should have read in school," "A book set in the decade you were born," and "A book you wish you could read for the first time again," you'll be on your way down memory lane.

Whether this is your first time taking the challenge or you've been with us since the beginning, the goal of the POPSUGAR Reading Challenge is for you to have fun and diversify your reading. There are no "rules"!

1. A book you meant to read in 2022
