Bookworm challenge

 

 Another rather large challenge is hosted by Linz the Bookworm and Logophile.  It is organized in 5 levels of 12 prompts.  You decide how many of each level and if you want to go in order or bounce around.  I just bounced around in previous years and finished as many prompts as I could.  I am going to aim for at least 5 of each level completed. 

There is a storygraph challenge page for this.
