2021 PopSugar Reading Challenge

Hosted by PopSugar, this Reading Challenge has 40 normal book prompts, with an additional 10 “advanced” prompts as well! PopSugar’s website has a printable list, and recommends that you join the Goodreads group for support! I will be on there and on here, so if you are participating this year, let’s support each other! Share your progress on Instagram with #Popsugarreadingchallenge… You know I will!
