The purpose of this challenge is to expose everyone to different genres. This year I will be sticking to popular genres though.
Duration: January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020
Number of Books: 12
Guidelines:
- Each month a genre will be posted
- Read ONE BOOK that falls into that genre.
This thread is for the participants to post their lists, progress, and discussions.
Many people signed up last year but hardly anybody finished or even tried. Therefore, if you aren't going to try then PLEASE don't sign up.
