Modern Mrs. Darcy | The 2020 Reading Challenge
Devoted readers and aspiring readers: want to get more out of your reading life in 2020? We’ve got a challenge just for you, and a free reading challenge kit to help you see it through.
Here on Modern Mrs. Darcy, we love reading but don’t believe it’s a competitive sport. We care about quality way more than we care about quantity: reading well doesn’t necessarily mean reading more.

Wow, that’s a lot of very interesting and fun challenges! I will be trying to give more time to reading so I can get the TBR down and also maintaining my NetGalley 80% reviewed stat, or even making myself some wiggle room in it!
