This is my fourth year doing the ATY challenge, fifth year doing the PopSugar challenge, and second year doing the 52 Book Club challenge. And while I've decided to go forward with these challenges, I think the primary focus of my reading year for 2023 will be to read books/series I've wanted to read for a long time, but always manage to put off. Many of these books are on the rather long side, so I may not do very well at all on the yearly challenges.
