Now, if any of y’all are interested, I’m going to extend this challenge to my readers. And with good reason, too, since I was formally known as the girl who wanted six kids. Although I sent a short text message mentioning this to one of my friends, I decided to write in length what circumstances have brought me to this conclusion.

Check out Pride & Prejudice (affiliate link), even if you only listen to the free sample. What better way to start this challenge off than with Jane Austen’s Pride & Prejudice (affiliate link)? Quick plug: Rosamunde Pike does such an amazing job of bringing the story to life by crafting a distinct voice for each character while maintaining a neutral tone for narration. Starting this month! Of course, my lovelies, y’all are highly encouraged to participate. (When does Jamae not have a brilliant idea?) For the rest of this year, in addition to the book reviews, I’ll be looking for challenges inspired by the books I read.
