Brandee & Linda’s Excellent Reading Challenge Adventure ~ 2022

Welcome to the 2022 version of Brandee & Linda’s Excellent Reading Challenge Adventure. We’re once again piecing together items from other challenges to create our own. Shout out to GirlXOXO for providing a comprehensive list of 2022 reading challenges for us to choose from! You’re welcome to participate with us or join one or all the challenges as created but know that our challenge isn’t the type of challenge where there are requirements or prizes…we’re using elements of others’ challenges as a fun way to read outside our boxes in a way that keeps things interesting. 😉 All challenges listed link back to the websites of those hosting each particular challenge. Thanks to all those who host these challenges!
