Pop Sugar Challenge Wrap Up


This year, in order to broaden my reading horizons, I participated in the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge for 2019. The challenge offered prompts of different types of books to read throughout the year.

For those of you who've been reading, you've seen all of my reviews for the books I've read for the prompts this year. For those who haven't (or who want to see any reviews again) I'm going to include the 'book number' (standing for the order that I read them in this year from 1-62 [so far]).
