My Alphabet challenge is going well, but the other two are going to take some time.

I don't see myself completing much of the POPSUGAR challenge, to be honest.

I've been stuck on the same four letters for a while now: G (although I think I found a title for that one), Q, X, & Y.

I am doing pretty well with my first POPSUGAR Challenge - 19 titles so far. I don't expect to complete the full 50, but if I can manage half (25), that would be awesome!

For my color challenge, I still need White.

I just completed the Colorful Covers challenge! :)
