For the past three months, I have been participating in the Taylor Swift Quarterly Challenge!

I'm happy I was officially able to get the highest level, even though I didn't get all the bonus prompts. After not doing as well during Love Has Sprung as I expected, this was a perfect way to help really kick off my Summer Reading trying to finish it out! I don't do too many of the challenges from the Reader Group, but I'm super excited to see what other fun and unique challenges they do next! Definitely join the group if you're looking for some fun options!
