This prompt has caused the most questions, so let me clarify a few things:

*Your challenge does not have to be one from TLC- you could do Popsugar, Book Riot, or any other challenge. Please indicate what challenge and task the book is for (example Purge
the Pile 2020 January- A New To You Author)

*You cannot start the challenge before January 1, 2020, but you don't have to finish the challenge before the end of 2020.

*It doesn't have to be the first book you read for the challenge, but you can only use the challenge once.

Pleas let me know if you have any other questions! Looking forward to supporting you on your "new" journey :)
