  1. I love going through posts like this! I’m also going to join, although I’m not obliging myself to tick off every prompt. I’ll be happy if I manage to do half of them, haha. πŸ˜€ Added The Lying Game and The Last Time I Lied to my options as well! Didn’t have any “owned books” for those yet, so maybe I’ll end up getting my hands on either of them. πŸ™‚

  2. I’ve never joined this although I’ve been meaning to. The last Popsugar Reading Challenge I aw kind of intimidated me. But I’d love to consider it this 2019 πŸ™‚
