This challenge was created last year by Completely Melanie. You can check out her Booktube channel with the original rules, posts, and prompts by clicking here. In this challenge, there are two prompts/challenges per month. The goal is to complete both challenges using titles from your TBR (novels published prior to 2022) and the main “rule” is that books do not double-count.

For January, I completed Ash Princess for the first prompt (Read a book that you meant to read last year or finish reading a book that you started last year) and I chose Wings of Ebony for the second prompt (Read the 1st book in a series).
My February selections were Bridal Boot Camp (Little Bridge Island #0.5) the second prompt (Read a short book (250 pages or less). For the other prompt, I read Fierce Fairytales: Poems and Stories to Stir Your Soul for the first prompt (Read a short story collection).
March Novel Picks: As Old as Time (Twisted Tales #3) & Serpent & Dove (#1)
March’s theme is “Transformation,” so this month my goal is to read more books involving magic. I have many novels that would fit the first prompt (Read a book that has some form of shapeshifting), so it was difficult to decide. I ultimately landed on As Old as Time, as I have been trying to catch up on the Twisted Tales series. The second prompt (Read a book that includes magic) was also a difficult choice to only select one novel. I chose Serpent and Dove as I have been meaning to read this series for a few years and I want to finally try it.
I am excited that, so far, I have been completing the prompts for each month. I hope I can continue this trend for the rest of the year.
HAPPY READING!
