Overview

The year is still ‘New’ I think, and a lot of us might be feeling anxious, sometimes new year resolutions don't work out, and that's okay. We tend to be hard on ourselves for every little mistake we make, and this challenge wants to send the message that it's time that we start being gentle to ourselves. Let's forget about the real world for a while when we read, and immense ourselves in the world of fiction, let February be filled with pages that would remind us that it's okay.
