At the end of June I thought I would take stock of my reading challenge progress. I’ve only finished 11 of the 26 categories though I’ve been reading quite a bit, so I guess I need to pick up the pace on filling the slots when I pick out my reads. I do currently have my nonfiction choice that I’ve just started, and I’ve picked up the YA Fantasy title so I’ll be seeing some new progress soon. Here’s my updated list!
