Challenges Update
photo credit: callumscott2
As I’ve just joined yet another challenge, I thought it might be time to take stock and take a look at how I’m doing with them.
If I was to read a unique book for each of the remaining slots, I have a total of 32 books still to go, however as most of the challenges allow overlapping, I should get away with a fair few less than that. I’m confident in being able to complete all but the A to Z Challenge, and if I can complete at least the ‘Book’ section of that one I’ll be happy enough.
