2017 Reading Challenges Final Update

I still can’t believe that 2017 is already over!!! Wow did the year go fast or what?! I’ve already established that 2017 wasn’t the best reading year for me and that’s ok. I guess…I’m hoping for a better year in 2018. As far as the reading challenges are concerned, I only managed to complete three of the eight I originally signed up for. See below for each individual challenge and check back tomorrow for my 2018 challenge sign-up 😀
