I had most of the Heaving Bosom's Reading Embrace done by mid-February. I have finally finished up the final prompt (one of two I had remaining in March) and can now officially end my Reading Embrace. If you missed my tbr, check it out. Just to kind of touch base, this is a yearly reading challenge hosted by they Heaving Bosoms podcast. The prompts are based off of jokes and sayings that come up on the podcast and can get a little tricky to make work. Below are the prompts with what I chose to apply!

I had a lot of fun once again and there's definitely still time to finish the embrace if you're still working on it. You have until the end of the year, so hopefully this can give some other options if you're still going. Sometimes there's some hard to find prompts, but for me it was more just finding the time and mood to finish those last two prompts. I'm glad it's finally done and I don't have to have it in the back of my mind anymore!
