I've worked on the Book Riot's Read Harder challenge this year, and for the first time I've completed all the tasks! 🙌 Audiobooks are the reason I've managed this, because I've had trouble reading since I got ME (/CFS). I do read some on my Kindle, but it's slow going compared to listening to them.
I like this challenge because as they say:
The 24 tasks encourage you to explore settings, characters, formats, genres, and perspectives you might not otherwise have tried.
