I can't wait to sort all my tbr books into reading lists again to then fail miserably at completing the challenge for the fourth time 🎉

[reading_faerie]

2:17 Kayla “pick nice happy words” me …. “I’m gonna read I’m *GLAD* my mom died 😇”

[Oliver.Danielle]

I don’t really use this as a monthly goal and more so as a yearly goal to read all 12 by the end of the year and it’s always super fun!! Already finished up 2023 and excited for 2024!!

[Wuggas]

I feel like I willed this into existence by setting up my goals/challenge page in my 2024 book journal. 2023s was fun!

[sarreptitious]

I managed all 12 prompts this year!! I'm more of a mood reader so I add several books that can fulfill the prompt and try to get to at least one every month

January: “they’re, their, there” in the title
February: positive words
March: character name’s in the title
April: nature (earth, sea, tree, etc..)
May: “every” in the title
June: repeating words

Two of my friends and I have turned this into a book club! We each provide books on our TBR and we select our winner randomly and do two months at once then we do a virtual book club. It's been a lot of fun! So thank you for continuing this tradition and helping our new one :)

I gotta say, the measurement one is throwing me through a loop. I am thinking way too existentially about what I would consider units of measurements to be 😂
