Update: Popsugar Reading Challenge 2017

Hi Munchworms!

One of my first ever blog posts consisted of all the prompts I have to tick off during the Popsugar Reading Challenge – which consists of 40 “normal” prompts and 12 “advanced” prompts.

As you could see back then – you can go to my original post here – I still had a decent amount of books to read and tick off! Since we’re nearing the end of 2017 pretty quickly and I’ve read a fair amount of books lately, I decided to see how many books I still have to read. Truly, I want to be able to say that I finished the whole thing, ha!

This means I only have 4 more prompts to tick off! Pretty sure I can manage that by the end of the year, haha. And it’s not like I haven’t read more books than just these since I’ve reached my Goodreads goal a while back.

I’ve also been busy creating my own Books & Munches Challenge for 2018, so I’ll have to wait and see whether or not I’m doing the Popsugar Reading Challenge next year as well.

Are you already thinking of your reading goals for 2018?
What have you come up with so far?
Maybe it’ll give me some extra inspiration, haha.
