It's already a new year and I can't believe it! And of course, with every new year there comes with new resolutions (lose weight, as always) and a new challenge!
Like I did for 2018, I will pick the books I will attempt to read for the 2019 challenge.
Again, I will most likely end up picking 2-3 books for each challenge (in case I fail at one of them LOL)
Here are the challenges:
