Lighthouse Library Reading Challenge 2023 - hosted by amber_lea84

Read a book that is 1-5 years older than you OR (hard mode) read a book that is 1-5 years older than you and was published the month you were born
I originally wanted this to be "read a book that was published the year and month you were born" so if you want to do that, please do! I just didn't want people to have to reveal their birthday.
