Everything I read in 2020📚

In case you didn't already know: I'm a total bookworm! I love to read and am usually reading multiple books at a time (to my roommate's dismay).

I started taking reading challenges in 2018 to push me to read more and read a greater variety of literature. This past year (2020) I read 43 books from diverse authors. I also read more nonfiction than ever before (and really enjoyed it).

I've developed a reading challenge with 20 fun prompts for 2021 (#read20withAlaina). If you have a goal of reading more or diversifying what you read, I would love to have you join! There will be prizes and goodies along the way for those participating. Stay tuned for more info in an upcoming post!
