Let me start by being honest. I did not finish my ATY challenge for 2023, nor did I read quite as many books for my Goodreads goal as I would have liked. This year, I’m going in with something to prove! Here is a link to the group’s list if you’d like to join in reading around the year. Last year, I stuck mostly to Kindle Unlimited titles. This year, I’m trying to read from my vastly growing list of free books obtained from sources like Freebooksy.

I put all 52 weeks into a toggle below to show which title I’ve chosen to fit each rule. Not only can you find a link to get the same book I’ve chosen if you wish, but you will also be able to read any reviews for weeks I’ve already done.
