Buzzwordathon Wrap Up

I figured it would be nice to do a little wrap up of the Buzzword Readathon I’ve been doing throughout the year since I’ve figured out I have completed all the prompts! I didn’t really look ahead throughout the year and see what the next prompt was going to be I would just look at the start of every month and find something on my TBR that matches. There were some months I didn’t get to the prompt but I did read something either before or later in the year that fit so everything worked out. This is such a fun easy readathon that I think I will continue to participate in for sure!
