This year, I decided to sign up for some reading challenges. While I adore reading, with my overwhelming tbr list, sometimes its nice to have challenges to point you towards a book. So here is a monthly roundup.

I'm counting Mad World, as I did read an ARC of it. I just didn't get it from either of these platforms. I got it from signing up to be a part of Hannah McBride's ARC team.
