Time for a fun post!

Last fall, I created a challenge called the Emoji Book Challenge. The goal was to randomly pick books from my shelves and describe them using five emojis. I ended up having so much fun doing that post that I had to do another one, so here it is: the Emoji Book Challenge, part 2!

I’m going to be doing things a little bit differently this time. Instead of choosing books from my shelves, I’ll be randomly selecting books from my “2019” shelf on Goodreads, which means everything will have been read in the past few months. There are 43 books to choose from, and I’ll be using a random number generator to pick the book.

Are you ready? Here we go!
