Because I feel like I need to build the habit of reading this type of book.

Anthologies are really good for when you don't have the energy or time to read. It's not a big commitment to finish a story or a poem before bed, for example, and taking a month to read a whole anthology is less anxiety-inducing than taking a month to finish a novel. Besides, there are a lot of classic authors who have a prolific work in the genre, and it's easier to get into them if you start by their short stories. Reading nonfiction in this format is also more comfortable.

As of right now, there are 7 specific anthologies I need to get to, so 7 prompts. I may add more later, but the number probably won't surpass ten.

I'm also hosting challenges for: epic poems, poetry collections, audiobooks, big books, standalones, book chains, book covers, fantasy tropes, mystery/horror, Dark Academia, Kafka's works, Brazilian lit, Everything Everywhere All at Once, Lorde's debut album, the Folklore/Evermore album and BTS' solos.
