Good day, dear readers!
2023 has started, and it is time for a new reading challenge! Last year, I was able to get through 281 books, with almost 54,000 pages read. But, this year, I am hoping to get further with the reading, and I would love to invite you to join me this year with a fun challenge! My initial goal is 200 books, but I would love to hit 300 if I can. I am working on clearing my reading backlog and catching up on books I have been trying to read for a while.
Below, I have added fifty different categories, allowing for a wide range of reading, and choosing some fabulous books for the year. Let’s get reading!

What is the difference between a book that is “part of a series” and a book that is “a continuing part of a series”?
I swear that I responded to this! I apologize! Part of a series is any number of the series, it does not have to be in a particular order. Whereas the continuing part of the series is the very next book. Does that make sense?
Ah, yes, thank you! That was kind of the direction I was thinking, but I appreciate the confirmation.
