#ReadHarder
There is also a Goodreads group for this challenge.
Since I'm already registered for five other challenges:
2019 Ultimate Popsugar Reading Challenge (Popsugar)
2019 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge
2019 Back to the Classics
2019 Cloak and Dagger Challenge
it only makes sense to add a sixth, am I right?!? :)
I have seen many readers refer to this challenge
in the past few years,
but have never really checked it out.
I am hopeful to fulfill most of the prompts for this
challenge with books read for the two larger
challenges, Popsugar and ATY.
Though some of these prompts are very specific,
so I may need to read some additional books
for this challenge. Oh, darn! ;)
9. A book published prior to January 1, 2019, with fewer than 100 reviews on Goodreads
16. A historical romance by an AOC
