2022 POPSUGAR Reading Challenge Recap
Friday, December 30, 2022
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.
