Book Challenge by Erin 14.0

 


Book Challenge by Erin 14.0
~First and foremost, have fun. Don't stress. No one is being judged, graded, or penalized. Even if you finish only one book the entire challenge, if you enjoy it and it's an accomplishment for you, then that's awesome.
~The challenge will run from JANUARY 1, 2021 to APRIL 30, 2021. No books started before 12 a.m. on January 1 or finished after 11:59 p.m. on April 30 will count. (We live in different time zones--follow according to your own time zone.)
~Each book must be at least 200 pages long. Audio books are fine too.
~Read one book for each category.
