If you’re doing these challenges too, I’d love to get a link (below) to your tracking list. It’s always fun to see what other people are reading!
If you have suggestions for books or authors you love that will help me finish my challenges, I am always interested in book recommendations.
You’re doing great with your challenges. So many of the books you listed are on my TBR. I do love cozy mystery series.
Thanks, Yvonne. I’m enjoying the challenges, but I am looking forward to next year, where I can start them all on time 🙂
Are you planning to host your challenge again next year? I have it on my list to look for it closer to the end of the year.
