I adore fantasy books. They’re just so easy to lose yourself in and forget about the real world. Let’s be honest, wouldn’t you rather live in a world filled with elves, unicorns, and magic? I know I would! Fantasy books give me that escape. Obviously, I signed up for the obsessed level.
This was probably the easiest “challenge” I did because of how quickly I go through fantasy books. Once I start, I have a very hard time putting them down.
