Yes, I am a reading challenge addict. I'm a little embarrassed to admit that, but it's a reality and I have to face it. I always start out saying "only one or two this year," and inevitably end up signed up for a dozen or more (16 so far this year). So, I figure I might as well join the group and declare myself. Also hoping this will help me keep myself organized in 2017. During the year, I'll be doing most of my record-keeping and progress-tracking over on my challenge blog (HERE), but I'll try to update this post too, if I can remember.

No challenges for me this year. If I were to join one it would have to be something along the lines of "Reading Off Your Own Shelves --Only" or something like that. Trying not to buy new books. Failing miserably. Good luck with all your challenges! I will say that they do open up doors to books you might not read if you were challenged! Look forward to all your reviews.
ReplyDeleteWell, for a while there I was toying with the notion of NO challenges this year, too. But I'm so addicted. And I do think they help keep me focused on reading instead of staring at the TV screen all day long.
DeleteActually, there's a Library Thing group called Read Our Own Tomes (or ROOT for short) that's dedicated to reading just books already on your shelves. But that's not something I could ever commit to.
yes, the moment I said I wasn't buying any new books this year....well, you know where I am going with this.
DeleteHave fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you! Reading challenges are fun -- well, mostly.
DeleteI am doing more challenges this year than I have for a couple of years, even though it bugs me if I don't keep up with them. And I keep finding more I would like to do. I just can't read as many books in a year as I would like to. I am doing the Vintage and Read Scotland.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've found many more that I'd LIKE to do, but that way lies madness! I need a speed-reading course or something -- my reading is really slowing down as I get older. Good luck with all your challenges this year!
