Hey everyone, I'm so sorry for the delay with the themed challenges for March but I'm just letting you all know that I'm working on getting it out right now! I've just been extremely busy with school and extra-curricular activities also my birthday is on Monday so I sort of forgot about Goodreads for a little while... but I'm back! (For now.) Also I'll send out a broadcast once I post the challenges. Sorry again.
Have a great day and keep on reading :)
