2020 While I Was Reading Challenge

I’ll talk more about the 2020 Reading Challenges I took part in soon, but I want to focus on the 2020 While I Was Reading Challenge today. And not just because it’s the only one I completed.

This was the third year for it, and the third year I participated and managed to complete. I really enjoy the categories that Ramona puts together, and a few times has made me think about books/titles in ways I wouldn’t normally. And yes, I’m coming back for the 2021 Challenge.

I finished the last one on this list Tuesday night (“A book that’s been on your shelf for more than a year” YES! One more off the TBR!!), a little closer to the 31st than I’d like, but…eh. Whatever. I’ve written at least a little about all but one of them (although, I thought I’d written about it, too, until about an hour ago), you can read that if you click the links.
