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.
