As you can see I went a bit off list and so have multiples for the same letters, and still have spaces to fill.
I might not have completed either reading challenge, but I did read a lot of good books in 2018.
As an author, doing this challenge also made me think a lot about book titles. Seriously some letters are hard to find books for!
Did you take part in a reading challenge this year? How did you do?
