Challenges 2023

I successfully completed all of my reading challenges in 2022, but after the Aussie Author Reading Challenge came to an end at the close of 2022, I'll only be participating in 3 reading challenges this year. I'm aiming to read 75 books again in 2023, and will be actively participating in the following challenges throughout the year. Wish me luck!
