POPSUGAR Reading Challenge

At the end of every year, POPSUGAR posts a reading challenge for the upcoming year. It usually contains about 50 reading prompts. Since 2016, I participate with a couple of friends. We have our own spreadsheet to track the books we’ve read and we also tweak some of the prompts to better fit our diverse reading tastes. Here’s the list of the books I’ve read over the years. So far, my best has been 38 of 52 books in 2017. Let’s see whether I’ll ever top that!
