I am doing two reading challenges this year. The first is the Goodreads reading challenge. This year, my goal is 52 books, so I average one book per week. The second challenge I am doing is the PopSugar Reading Challenge. I gave myself many options for all of the prompts so I would not be stuck reading particular books I was not in the mood to read. With that being said, I am only going to post the books I read for each prompt as I finish them.
