Half-year wrap-up and 1 Year Anniversary!

I posted the first review for my YA World Challenge reading project on June 24 last year, so I just realized it's my 1 year anniversary!

So far I have finished 40 countries/regions! Including 2 trilogies and 1 duology that makes 45 books, at a rate of almost 4 per month. I'm pretty happy with that progress! I finished 20 books in 2023 so far.

I'm also happy that I'm still enjoying this project. Sticking to genres I like has helped, and I'm amazed by the diversity of new YA releases coming out lately, which has made it easy to pick up new books (thanks, Netgalley!!)
