WELCOME TO MONTH ONE!
This month is all about seeing things from a new perspective, It's time to challenge an idea, concept or long held belief. Be that your body image, mental illness or even death. Why not?
The goal here is to better yourself, so the challenge is definitely open for books with harsher takes, tackling difficult themes without positivity in mind, necessarily. Let’s change our minds and be beautiful contradictions, my people!
Btw, don’t forget to tag us once you choose your read!
