HRCYED Participation Kick-Off Post
If you haven’t heard of it, the Hardest Reading Challenge You’ll Ever Do is abbreviated as #HRCYED and is running around on the Book-Tube community. Am I part of that community? Not really. I watch a few here and there, but I’m not a particular participant in reviewing, nor do I make videos.
What do I do? I read and I write. So, am I going to propose my own books against some of the challenges? You betcha.
Have I ever met a major challenge that will make my life difficult? Nope.
Am I going to write up my proposed reading lists so you can all see how badly I fail? Yes.
This is me officially letting it be known that I’m doing this challenge. It’s supposed to be a year-long challenge, so we’ll see how long I last.
