20 Books of Summer Reading Challenge Update I did complete my reading challenge on Goodreads and the 20 Books of Summer. In addition to that I also had opportunity to read a few books to review.

I heard about a summer reading challenge via @Teaandcakeforthesoul. I have more than 20 books in my unread eBooks and bookshelf. So this was the motivation for me to look through the books and pick the top 20 that I want to read and join the challenge.

I currently am using Kindle Unlimited and have borrowed a few books from there…
