At the start of June, I found out about a challenge to read and review 20 books of summer set by the 746 book blog. I decided to have a go but I thought it highly unlikely that I’d be able to read that many.
Find out how I got on and read about my next reading challenge – 20 Books for Christmas.
The original list for my 20 Books of Summer Reading Challenge was as follows:

20 Books of Summer Reading Challenge 2019 – COMPLETED ✓
.
I’m pleased to say that I did it! I completed the reading challenge.
Despite thinking I would not be able to read so many books in that timescale, by accepting the challenge I was more determined and I set aside more time to read than I would normally.
You can find links to all the other book bloggers that took part at 746 Books.
I’ve decided now to set my own challenge – 20 Books for Christmas which will run from 1st October to 31st December. I will be publishing a new blog post in a couple of days to tell you all about it. I hope you will join me.
Check out my recommended reading section for more books and good reads from various genres – women’s fiction, poetry, self-help, children’s and non-fiction.
You’ll also find links to books for gift suggestions for birthdays, Christmas or just as a random act of kindness.

Wayhey, well done! And a few that weren’t on the list too, nicely done. I’m horrified at seeing the ‘C’ word though, breaks me out in hives just thinking of that again this year! 😂

I know I hate it too. I was going to go with winter or autumn but the time frames didn’t really work 😉
