I will still be doing the POPSUGAR Reading Challenge next year in the hope that, just maybe I will complete it all! But we will see!!!!!
Did you take part this year? How did you do?

You did well. I figure as long as I finish one book out of my normal reading genre, then this was a success. I don’t follow the rules and I just add all 50 prompts together. I really wanted to finish this year, but I am not going to make it. I set my goal to beat last year, so I wanted to complete 40 of the prompts. Well, at this point I have completed 45. I do hope to read one more before the end of the year, so 46 is pretty good for me. Here is my link to my post, Marie. https://carlalovestoread.wordpress.com/2020/01/21/2020-popsugar-challenge/

Thanks sweetheart! You’ve done amazing Carla well done! I’ll try again next year! By doing this challenge I have certainly read books out of my comfort zone; which I see as a great thing!
