My one consistent reading challenge has been setting a goal on Goodreads (I’ve upped the ante from 65 to 70 books for 2020).

I may dabble in the Popsugar challenge but I’m not holding myself to it. I read for a lot of reasons—to escape, to learn, for pure enjoyment, to name a few—and I don’t want to box myself in by trying to stick to some arbitrary list of categories.

I am, however, making a concerted effort to diversify what I read in general, and add more BIPOC authors to my shelves (both digital and physical).
