It’s that time of year again. Some people make resolutions, others sign up for the POPSUGAR Reading Challenge! I think you know which way I am leaning.

Last year I kind of forgot to check in with the challenge, and so I only finished with 21/40 books. I did meet my Goodreads challenge of 70 books, but clearly didn’t hit the diversity in books that POPSUGAR’s challenge provides. Here’s to a better 2017! This year they’ve also added an advanced category for people who breeze through the first 40. (Hmmm…that sounds like a stretch, based on my past performance.)
