It’s halfway through August and I finished the last book for the Summer Reading Challenge! So I can mark this as a success.

The Summer Reading Challenge is a set of prompts that you can pick books for and then read throughout the summer. There are twenty and I managed all twenty! The books stayed mostly the same from the TBR I had in this post, with few changes.

I hosted this challenge with a friend over on bookstagram. Even though no one joined, it was still fun!
