Charlotte | 1701 comments I"m going to be a little less ambitious than last year or who knows... maybe I'll be just as ambitious and just won't get stressed if I don't hit them all!

Goodreads:
PBT Monthly Tag Challenge - One book a month that fits the monthly tag
PBT Optional Trim Continuation
Popsugar 2020 Challenge - ... and finish 2019 if don't make it before end of 2019...

Personal:
Book of the Month - I joined book of the month last year but I've only read one of the books that I've received. This year I want to read at least one book each month that I've received from BOM!!! Time to cut down my IRL TBR!!
Monthly Spiritual/Philosophical/Self-Discovery Journey - I started a journey through a book based group coaching/therapy. I've made a ton of progress and have learned a lot. I will be continuing that journey both with a group and on my own, so I want to read at least one book per month towards that.
A-Z Title Challenge - got sooooo close in 2019... only missed it by 2
A-Z Author Challenge - a lot harder than I thought it would be, but fun to see how I do...
