Welcome to Litsy!

Woot-Woot! 🎉

Nothing like being laid off for 4 and half months. My reading challenge is already complete!

I hit 100 books with three months still left in the year! 🤗

I did it! Although 100 books is cool, I think I will set a lower goal next year so i can enjoy some larger books without stressing.

So this happened yesterday; I hit 100 books for the year. I know that there are many here on Litsy that read many more books, but this is the first time I have ever read 100 books in a calendar year. I thank the Litsy community for inspiring me to read and for giving me permission to spend so much time reading unapologetically.

When Goodreads keeps it real about how behind you are. 😅 But hey, 100 books down, right? 😜📚🎉 #goodreadschallenge

I did it! I hit 100 before the end of the year! 💁🏻‍♀️📚🤓👏🏻 (I think I can squeeze a few more in this next week 😉)

#192019challenge started as a personal reading resolution and has grown to include so many lovely littens!

For those who don't know #192019, here's a quick rundown:

🔹the aim is to read a book published in each year from 1920 to 2019
🔹target completion is anytime in 2019 (I'm aiming for my birthday in April)
🔹most of us seem to be reading in random order
🔹hashtags in use are #192019challenge and #192019

That's it! All welcome to join us!

I can't believe how much I've read this year! I'd like to thank an understanding husband, lazy dogs, and an introverted nature for this accomplishment!

Ok, seeing @Marchpane 's posts convinced me that I want to try out her #192919challenge over the next couple of years. I too have a milestone birthday in 2019, and I've also been lamenting the fact that I read so many newer books and don't always take the time out to read older books. I did go back 8 months and filled in some books I have read that fit various years. Sure enough, heavy on books from 1998 on. Excited about this!

Needed a visual to track my progress on the #192019challenge, so I made this card. It's filling up - 30 books down, 70 to go!

Seems I've been neglecting the 1940's and 1980's thus far 🤔🤔

I enjoy crossing things off a list, so my #bookishresolutions all have to do with challenges:

✔️read 100 books for GR challenge
✔️complete #LitsyAtoZ challenge
✔️complete #MMDchallenge
✔️complete #ERmadlibs challenge
✔️read 35 books for #192019challenge

Wow.....it's going to be the year of reading challenges 📚📚

I'm thrilled to bits to have people join me in this challenge! NB please feel free to SET YOUR OWN PARAMETERS 😁

🔹Read books published between 1920 and 2019

🔹pick your target - I'm aiming for all 100 years but you could pick read 50, or 2 per decade, whatever works

🔹I'm hoping to finish by April 2019, but a longer timeframe is fine. Again do what works for you.

🔹plan in advance, or not 😁

🔹please use tags #192019challenge & @Marchpane

A personal reading challenge I set for myself, I'm going to try to read one book published in each year from 1920 to 2019! Why those dates:

🔹a milestone birthday coming up in 2019
🔹I wanted to include backlist from the 2000's, as well as the 20th century
🔹gives me three years to complete the challenge
🔹mostly, I like the symmetry of it: 1920:2019 😁

Got a favourite book? Please recommend it to me! And wish me luck!
