2024 Reading Challenges Update

I never complete ALL of the challenges I participate and honestly, that's fine with me. For me, the fun lies in setting up challenges and just the journey in general (she says as she fails challenges year after year 🤣) I didn't do TOO bad though. Lol.

Progress: 95/52 (183%). I finished this one pretty early on in the year, as I knew I would. Lol. But I set a low number on purpose because I wanted it to be very low-pressure this year, and honestly, it was SO nice 😌
