The Nerdy Bookworm 50 Books A Year Reading Challenge 2022

Sfida ospitata da Emily the book nerd.

One book per category.

You can read and do the prompts/challenges in any order you want.

Set fun but attainable reading goals. If you do not complete all prompts that is completely fine! No stress zone here.

All books need to be read January 1, 2022 - the end of 2022.

It is okay to DNF any book that you start for that challenge. Even better, share why you did not finish it.

All audiobooks count regardless of the challenge.
