This may be something you don’t know about me, but I used to be a book blogger. I still am, from time to time. And reading challenges were my jam! I LOVE THEM! It’s a fun way to look at your reading habits and, more importantly, it’s a good way to branch out and find new authors and genres, too. There are a few out there, too, that are very motivating for me to tackle that ever rising TBR list.

This post is going to be the first in a series of posts about reading challenges. A lot of those will be curated lists of books that fit a genre, or maybe a theme, or even a specific challenge. Maybe some of them will inspire you to join some challenges and read some new and fabulous books in 2019. And don’t let it overwhelm you. Sometimes, a single book will count for more than one challenge! 

 

Here are some great places to look for challenges!

  3. A Novel Challenge

Check my progress this year here.

So far, these are the challenges I’m going to do:

Alphabet Soup (A-Z) Challenge: I’ve done this one before and it can be a challenge.
Alphabet Soup (A-Z): Author Edition: This one is a new edition, reading books by authors whose first/last name begins with A-Z.
Book Horoscopes: The Ambitious Leo: This is a new one, but the books look fascinating!
Linz the Bookworm: This one is also new to me, and the categories are FUN!
Modern Miss Darcy Reading Challenge: I will be doing her summer challenge, too, when that’s posted. She always creates interesting ones!
Monthly Motif Challenge: I’ve done this one before,too. Each month is a different theme to read, which can take you in new directions.
Pop Sugar Book Challenge: There’s a handy printable for this one, too, in the post. I love this challenge because there is both a basic list and an advanced add-on.
Reese Witherspoon’s Book List: This one isn’t a challenge, per say, but it is my challenge to read catch up and read all the books on this ever growing list.
