With the #192025 challenge drawing to a close, it‘s time to think about #192030 challenge—read one book originally published for each year from 1920 to 2030, starting January 1st and running through 2030.
The only rule is to select a book by original publication! You can make the challenge fit your needs in other way, including different authors, genres, or fiction or nonfiction.
Tagging those who initially expressed interest! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ Please let me know if you would like to be added to the tag list. This time, unlike the last challenge, I‘ll post a semiannual check in to remind to update your records for reading and for sharing with others in the group. I‘ll also tag everyone when the form is available on StoryGraph (and StoryGraph will tell you the original pub year for a book) and when the challenge officially begins. All are welcome! 24h

Bookwormjillk A little scary to be joining a challenge that ends after my youngest graduates high school but I‘m in! 24h

Deblovestoread Welp, I am not going to finish #192025 by the end of the year but finishing it and this one in 4 years seems doable, right? Count me in 😀 23h
Librarybelle @Bookwormjillk It is so hard to believe that 2030 isn‘t really that far away! 23h
dabbe Please add me! I'd love to try this. I'm planning on rearranging my clubs and cutting down, but this one sounds like a really good way to get some actual books off the shelf! Thanks for hosting! 🖤🤍🖤 23h
Librarybelle @Deblovestoread I probably won‘t finish either, but I have high hopes for #192030 ! 😂 23h
Librarybelle Sounds great, @dabbe ! I have a shelf of golden crime novels that would work perfectly! 23h
mabell Thanks you! Looking forward to checking off more boxes! 22h
Librarybelle Yay, @mabell ! 22h
Gissy 🙋🏽♀️Let‘s see if I will still be here or if I have to participate as a ghost👻I know..morbid me 😂Halloween is almost here 🤣 22h
Amiable @Deblovestoread I‘m not going to finish, either! I was kinda hoping that we could reset the #192025 challenge and extend the end date a couple…10..years so I can complete it. 😄 22h
Librarybelle Oh my, @Gissy ! 😂 Let‘s hope we‘re all around or else ghosts reading! 21h
Librarybelle @Amiable 😂 Clean slate starting in January! 21h
Suet624 I‘m scared. I‘ve always been tempted by this challenge, but then I just know I‘m gonna feel like I‘m under pressure. Silly, I know. (edited) 20h
Librarybelle @Suet624 That‘s understandable. I am disappointed I won‘t finish #192025 , but I‘m also amazed by the authors I met that I would not have without this challenge. 20h
Daisey I have considered joining the original randomly but really didn‘t want to in the middle, so I think I need to join the new one. No idea how close to finishing I‘ll actually get, but why not add another checklist? Please add me to the tag list. 20h
BarbaraJean Please add me! I‘m 16 books away from finishing #192025 and oddly enough, the idea of starting #192030 is helping! I was hoping to use more books from my shelves, but I have several harder reads left… with a new challenge, I feel more free to swap those out for quicker reads and save the harder ones for next year 😆 20h
Librarybelle Yay, @Daisey ! 12h
Librarybelle @BarbaraJean It is comforting, isn‘t it? I feel the same way! 12h
Mollyanna Looking forward to this! I‘ve got a bunch of old paperbacks that this should take off my shelves. 😊 11h
Librarybelle That‘s great, @Mollyanna ! 11h
Read4life Can you add me please? 6h
llwheeler Yay! Looking forward to it 6h
kwmg40 Please add me to the tag list! I'm not quite done my #192025 challenge yet but I only have 22 left so should be able to finish it early next year if not end of this year. 2h
