I’m going to try the PopSugar Reading Challenge again this year! I really enjoyed doing the 2015 Reading Challenge, it had me reading some books I normally wouldn’t have picked up. I found some great reads, and I’m looking forward to reaching outside my genre again in 2016.

End of year update: boy, did I fail on the 2016 challenge. 21/40. I popped the challenge up here, but did not revisit throughout the year to see what I was missing. Here’s to a better 2017!
