Overall, this challenge went really well for me! I knocked off a few books I had on my tbr for quite a while, like The Grace of Kings, and I read 12 of my own books in total. I completed 7 challenges with those books which isn't too bad.I still have many more books I own and should prioritise but for now, I am enjoying using my library again :) But I am excited to repeat this.
