2020 Reading Challenges Wrap Up (Part I)

It's a rare moment when I have competed some of my reading challenges this early! Usually it finishes near December. It might have been because I'm less competitive this year, or maybe that this Covid-19 pandemic changes my priorities. Either way, I'm proud of myself that I have read AND blogged every book I have intended to read this year, and I still have more time to read whatever I want (mostly Christmas books! (^__^)

Right now I still have 2 books to read and blogged until December, so for now I will wrap up only the first three challenges that I have completed so far. The rest will follow around December.

  2. Congratulations on finishing the Back to the Classics challenge -- and all the other challenges! I failed spectacularly with the Victorians this year and I'm still hoping to squeeze in one more for the European reading challenge and make it an even 10. Looking forward to see what you read next year!
