All the reading challenges at Riedel Fascination run February 1, 2018 to January 31, 2019 so we don’t have to do wrap-up posts during Christmas and New Year’s time. In keeping with my word of the year for 2018, LIGHTEN, I cut back on reading challenges but wanted to play along with Carolyn’s fun challenges. I set a goal for each one and figured I would be done when I accomplished it, but with some I just kept going. This was year no. 5 for me with Gentle Spectrums and I although I planned to get one book for each category and accomplish the challenge, I just kept going and added more books.
