Deborah | 348 comments THE 2021 LIST
My Personal Rules for the Challenge

Read as many book prompts in order as possible but It is okay to jump around if necessary.

Read as many as I can by the end of the year, but read them at my own pace. This may mean I don’t finish all fifty-two.

If I don’t like a book, I don’t have to finish it. But I do have to finish a book for it to count for the challenge.

It is okay to change books from my original plan, if I find one that either fits or better or that I would enjoy more.

Try to be creative in filling the prompts, but it is okay to be literal as well.

I haven’t decided if I want to do this, but it may be the only way for me to achieve all 52 prompts…a single book can be used for no more than two prompts.
