Overview

I wanted to create a reading challenge that was both accessible and somewhat challenging for people like myself who both love to read, and yet struggle to do so. To tackle this I thought that it would be fun to create a reading challenge to finish at least 10 books!!! If you are a student on break or an individual with free time over the summer maybe give this challenge a try, especially if you are like me and have a hard time staying motivated!!! Good luck and have a great rest of your summer!
