After a carefully planned ATY 2020, this year I'm going to read things I find along the way. I'm slightly expanding the challenge in cases where I wanted to enjoy multiple aspects of a prompt. In addition to ATY 2021, I will be working on the prompts of the NATO Alphabet, PopSugar, Read Harder, and Reading Women Challenges. I only use a book once per challenge but may use it for several challenges.

Here's to another great year of reading.

Revisited March 2021:

I'm off to a slow (for me) start on this challenge due to the sudden death of my mother in January. I'm just focusing on this challenge for the moment and might look at others later in the year.
