The Popsugar reading challenge comes with a handy little image which I’ll just put here. There are 50 little challenges, covering 52 books, and let’s see what I find to read when constrained by quirky criteria. Well, 9 books are already on my Banned Books Challenge list, so that leaves 43 books.
So let’s see what I can do with it (after a small interlude of smoking a cigarette on the outside so 10-15 minutes, well yeah can’t smoke inside with a child in the house, and I also take my Kindle with me, so it’s possible I might light a second cigarette it I want to finish the chapter, but be right back! Pinky swear!)
