Reading women Challenge 2020

If you have never heard of the Reading Women podcast you really should check them out. For the past couple years they had done a reading challenge to push you to read outside your comfort zone and to diversify your reading. I have wanted to participate and this year I have decided to do it. Here is a link to their goodreads page with the list of the challenges and a community of people who also might have suggestions for books to full fill parts of the challenge.
