Angel's Guilty Pleasures

It’s the end of 2019.  It’s time to showcase my Challenge’s and how well I did or didn’t do.  I picked challenges that would help me use my library or read the books I have sitting on my bookshelf and/or eReader.  The only one that focuses on New Releases is the New Releases Challenge.  I also put next to each challenge recommend or not.  Plus I’ll share with you the challenges I signed up to do in 2020 or plan to sign up for.

Recommend Challenge: First off is the Goodreads Reading Challenge. My goal is 150. Same goal I keep each year. I surpassed this goal and am still reading into the new year.

How did you do this year (2019) on your challenges?  What challenges are your favorites?  Which do you recommend?  I like challenges and keeping track of my reading.  It’s interesting to look back and see how I read; ebooks vs physical vs audio or what genres I like more or do I enjoy more New Releases to the Backlist Titles, etc…  What’s your thoughts?
