Trying Reading Challenges Again

Last year, I made an entire post on how I was horrible at keeping up with reading challenges, and that I was going to stop them.

Now, it seems like I did not learn from my previous lesson, as I have decided to start a new reading challenge again this year.

Do I think that I will do better this year? No, I don’t. However, I am motivated to read the books on my list as I didn’t go out of my way to find new book. Instead, I focused heavily on books that were already on my TBR list or on my shelf. I’m hoping this helps.

I decided to do the Pick Your Poison reading challenge. Listed below are the categories that I chose (with a slight modification to one).

If you have read any of the books on my list, please let me know your thoughts on them! I will be updating this post with when I complete a book, and the link to the review if I write one.
