I loved participating in this challenge last year so I'll be continuing participation in The Alphabet Soup challenge hosted by Dollycas in 2025.
You can sign up and find all of the info on Dollycas' blog post here. Like last year I'll be posting updates as I finish titles. I always try to plan out my books in advance, but if the Popsugar and Book Riot reading challenges have taught me anything, it is that I almost never read what is on the plan. Anything with a link has a review posted, so feel free to check out my thoughts.
