Today, I present to you the most complex fantasy reading challenge I found and will probably ever do, the Mythical Mystical Magical Reading Challenge.
Created by Ketutar writing, there are a lot of prompts in this challenge...a lot. Needless to say, I am expecting to read a ton of fantasy books this year (as usual), and I expect that I will take me literally all year to complete it.
Like any other year-long reading challenge, I am going to post this at the beginning of the year and update it as I go along to make things easier for myself. At the moment it is a bit messy and empty and filled with books I plan to read...but it will look better eventually.
Now, without further ado, let the challenge begin!
