I don't think I've ever actually fulfilled all the prompts for a POPSUGAR Reading Challenge, but I really love working towards them each year. I'm always so pumped and make so many plans at the start of the year, then just get kind of laissez-faire as I go. Here's to trying to finish the 2023 reading challenge this year.

You can always keep up with my progress at the top of the page (under the 'books & reading' tab, you'll find all of my previous and current reading challenges). You can also catch me on Goodreads and Instagram! I've included POPSUGAR's printable graphic below, which I usually save on my phone so I can mark as I go. Feel free to grab it to keep up with your completed prompts, too!
