COYER Challenge

Graphic for the COYER Challenge 2023 January 1 - December 31

Since I’m part of the COYER Facebook Community, and I’m participating in Anne’s Read Along of the Iron Druid Chronicles, I’ve decided to officially join the COYER Challenge. I’ll admit that I’m still really lost. But the first part, Chapter 1, is just any book, any format, post a review. I can do that! Here are the books I read this month, with links to the reviews.
