It’s
almost 2020 and there’s a new PopSugar Reading Challenge. I finished the 2019
challenge a few weeks ago and I’m raring to start the next.
Am
I a glutton for punishment?
Yes,
I am.
Which
works out well because one prompt is a book about one of the seven deadly sins.
I’m prepped.
The challenge looks great this year, and I’m working on my Excel sheet
for keeping track of the books. (Thank you PopSugar Facebook Group
for the file.)
And
I’m making a List
Challenge. Like last year, I plan to give myself two choices for each book,
knowing I won’t read both.
Or
I might.
I
did that with several categories this year.
Here’s
the official list from PopSugar. Join me or laugh as I slog through.
(Just
kidding. No slogging here. And look at that Challenge Prompt! I’m gonna run
through that one in a month or less!)
