This is my Master List for the 2018 PopSugar Reading Challenge – I will be adding links to reviews as I read books, and adding the books I intend to read as I come up with them.
Edit: Now that I’m halfway through the challenge, I have bolded the prompts I haven’t finished yet to make them easier to find.
