Melissa A | 22 comments I’m FINISHED 12/05/21

I started on October 25, 2020 when the list was released. I had long since finished 2020’s ATY52 and PopSugar Challenges. I overlapped books for those. For 2021, I will use different titles for ATY52 and PS.
However, I decided to restart on January 1st - so, I will read a second book for the prompts I completed before 1 January 2021.
