2023 Challenges to Feed Your Reading Habit

 

Apparently--It's time to start hunting for the new challenges for 2023. And to start planning the books to read (if you're into that level of of planning). I will keep adding challenges as I find them to help you discover challenges that meet your interests.

If you find a challenge not listed here or are sponsoring a challenge yourself and would like it added, please email me at phryne1969 AT gmail DOT com and I will update the page as soon as possible.
