    Writing blog posts 30 days in advance is a fabulous goal. I need to start doing that, too. :)

    Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.

      Thanks for the nice comment. Yeah, sometimes it helps being a bit in advance so I don't panic too much.

      I must admit I had a bit of an "oh crap"-moment when I realized how many ARCs I actually had. :-P

    I decided not to do any challenges this year but some of these look really fun. :) I did enjoy doing Cloak & Dagger last year.

      I couldn't quite decide whether or not to participate in any challenges this year, but I just couldn't resist. Nice to hear I'm not the only one who has enjoyed doing Cloak & Dagger earlier years. :-)

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask?
