SFF Virtual Badge Collection Reading Challenge 2021

This is where I'll be keeping track of my Spells & Spaceships (how cute is that name, by the way) SFF Virtual Badge Collection reading challenge books. I love the twist on BINGO reading challenges and the graphics for the badges are wonderfully done.
