If you’ll notice, some of these have writing next to them. Not all, but a good deal of them. I tried tackling the Golden Trio Reading Challenge in 2019 to very poor results. Mostly, I think, because I tried to read too many books. I mean, I don’t think there’s such thing as reading too many books, but setting unreasonable goals is something I shouldn’t do.
So!
What is the Golden Trio Reading Challenge? Here’s a nifty little image:
I’ve got thirty-six books on the list currently, so I’m somewhere between Harry and Hermione. Maybe I’ll find more books to read as the year goes. And maybe this is a goal I’ll achieve a little easier than the 200 books .
They’re all written by women, as well. So!
That’s my challenge. The 2020 Reading List is nothing but the wonderful world of female-written wonders!
