Happy Saturday!

I’ve finished my personal challenge of reading a book from each genre listed on the Goodreads search page. My final list is below. Now for my next NEW reading challenge. I’m going to start an A-Z reading challenge. I may or may not read them all in order, we’ll see. So many books, so little time! Let me know about any really great book recommendations that I should put on my ever-growing list!

Have a great day! I hope you do or learn something NEW today!
