INTENTIONAL READING CHALLENGE

You can start and finish this challenge whenever you like!

This was created in the midst of wanting to intentionally read works that center non-normative voices. In the midst of wanting to do better and be better. In wanting to read stories of lives that need more representation; better, rounded representation. This is also in the context of Singapore, but of course, non-Singapore literature is welcomed.

You can do a prompt a month or you can make this a suggestion for your TBR.
