Completed my first challenge of the year! I haven't done any challenges in years, mostly because I don't like to be “forced“ to read books I'm not interested in. Since I decided to commit to the Pop Sugar Challenge this year I joined a few others. This one is the ABC Challenge (not an alphabet challenge) I found on StoryGraph.

I've just discovered this and I'm already two days behind. But then, l've always been bad at challenges 😂

Since I'm trying to get back into the habit of reading regularly, l'm going to try.
My goal:
1️⃣ Read the first 6 chapters of the Hobbit, as per the readalong
2️⃣ Make a good dent (possibly finish, but l don't really believe it) The Bisquit Barrel Murder, a #NetGalley ARC

Andrew65 That‘s the beauty of a nine day Readathon, still plenty of time. Great to have you with us, good luck 😁 13mo

Thanks for the tag @Crazeedi my greatest accomplishment: 1. Getting financial stuff in order including for my daughter who has a rare disability;
2. Challenge: balancing work/childcare/and making time for myself
3. Best books: How the Word is Passed and Klara and the Sun
4. Hope for 2022: to be present in the moment and to be able to see my family in Canada

So I bought a bujo to keep track of my reading challenges in 2022. I‘m now at the point that I‘m making up challenges just so I can create a page for them 🤣

I have 6 challenges set up for 2022 and am now debating the #popsugarchallenge

#bujo #bookchallenges

kamoorephoto This is a super cool idea ✔️ 2y
Professional_Book_Dragon I love it!!! Share ideas please 🥰 2y
BarbaraBB So cool! I‘d add #pop22 too if I were you 😂 2y

Laughterhp @BarbaraBB Thats the one I‘m debating doing! But it‘s 50 prompts! 2y
BarbaraBB It‘s fun! And there are a few of us sharing recommendations and suggestions during the year. That might be motivating? I can add you to our small group?! 2y
Laughterhp @BarbaraBB Sure! That‘d be great! Some of the prompts look interesting so I think I will sign up for this one. 2y

Thanks to @Eggs for the tag!

1. Sometimes. I like more low key challenges, and then I like to check my reading against a challenge to see if there are any ways I can work to diversify my reading further.

2. #Booked2021 and #BookSpin are my faves. Thanks to the great hosts! @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage @TheAromaofBooks

@TheSpineView

TheAromaofBooks Yay!!! ❤ 3y
Cinfhen Awwwww xxx thanks 😘 🥰 3y

I have been having so much fun with @DuckofDoom 's #SFFTBRChallenge (that I am currently failing) that I decided to host my own. What I liked and copied was that this challenge started in July and went for a year. That mid-start date was a great way to re energize my reading.

So I bring you the Birth and Beyond Reading Challenge (#BBRC). There are 6 categories with 5-26 prompts in each category for a total of 71 books. This may seem crazy (Down)

LibrarianRyan however, the idea is to get people reading out of their comfort zone, or revisiting sections of books they have not been in for a while. The first 31 books could be done in one wild weekend. While not everything is set, I have the prompts done and will be posting next, Sign ups will begin June 1, and of course there will be prizes.

Plus, everything is up to interpretation. I love seeing how people fill in various prompts.

BookwormAHN The picture books will be an especially interesting challenge, but I'm game 😺 5y
DuckOfDoom And Litsy did not inform me of the tag :( I should finally make a post and see how everyone is doing in this last 2 months 5y

LibrarianRyan @DuckOfDoom I really thought I would do better than I have. I think I‘m only at half. 5y
LibrarianRyan @DuckOfDoom I there‘s a reply on this post I don‘t get notified about either. Hopefully it‘s a temp glitch. 5y
DuckOfDoom It worked this time - so hopefully it's just a hiccup :) 5y
julesG I liked @DuckOfDoom's prompts so much, as well as the encouragement of others, that I've read more than my pledged 15 books already. Ryan, it's not actually failing if you can't make it. It's like the Olympics. 😁 5y
DuckOfDoom Yeah! Having fun is the important part, and maybe get a liiiiittle dent in that TBR 😁 @julesG how many have you read already? I didn't think I could make it, but I have only two books left!! And the Old TBR stack really got smaller 😀 5y
rockpools This looks like so much fun! Not sure I can manage the whole 71 books (!!!!!) but it‘d be a great excuse to explore some of the children‘s books I see you posting... 5y
LibrarianRyan @julesG very true. I think I‘m at 26. 5y
julesG @DuckOfDoom 32 😱😱😱😱 5y
DuckOfDoom @julesG 😱😱 Wow!!!! You doubled your goal, I'm amazed! I think have to take a look at your picks - some categories were harder than I thought😅 5y
Sarahreadstoomuch Oooh..... I‘m intrigued!! 5y
