• My Goodreads Book Reading Challenges

  There are book challenges that I have joined on Goodreads, but it’s not working for me, so in 2023, I did not enter any. I read whatever interested me and enjoyed them rather than attempting to reach a certain number of books and rushing to meet the quantity of books for my challenge. I want…
