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!

As the year comes to an end, it's time to reflect on my reading challenge goals. As usual, I have met my Goodreads goal of reading 52 books, but I'm not sure I've ever fully finished a POPSUGAR challenge. It's fun along the way though. See below for what I did accomplish, and check out the 2023 POPSUGAR reading challenge to see what I'll be up to in 2023.
