2021 Pop Sugar Reading Challenge

 

Ugh, another challenge that I had in my challenge log that I didn't do a blog post on - presenting the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge.

This challenge has a list of reading prompts that bring diversity and push me out of my comfort zone.  You can get a printable list and also join their Facebook and Goodreads pages.
