You've Got to Read This: Contemporary American Writers Introduce Stories That Held Them in Awe | Jim Shepard, Ron Hansen

Signed up for #litsyreadingchallenge on Goodreads & will pick my books soon. I also want to do the 2017 Read Harder challenge since I didn't this year & a 2nd year of the #foodiesread challenge w/ @Dvmheather but I'm still deciding if I can commit to the #litsyatoz challenge. With these 3, a book tour blog review a week + work/life, I'm not sure how doable it is-but many of my favorite littens are doing or organizing it. Such a bookish dilemma! 😬

BookishMarginalia I'm just going to whisper something in your ear: cross-pollinate! Use a book for multiple challenges 🤔👍🏼 8y

Dvmheather I'm just going to read what I read and see how it works out for Litsy A to Z. 8y

SharonGoforth I always over-commit, but that's because I love to make the lists, plus it really does help me organize my reading. And, like @bookishmarginalia , I do try to make a book work for as many challenges as I can . I always make an effort to complete them, but don't stress too much if I don't 😊 8y

LisaJo @Dmvheather - that is my plan too. 8y

ApoptyGina69 I just sent the link for #foodiesread to myself, so I'll check it out. And friended @Dmvheather. 👋🏻Hi! 8y

Suzze I always start challenges and rarely finish, but even if I only read a handful of books for them, it was fun. 8y

DebinHawaii @BookishMarginalia Yes, I think it's the only way to do this. I am a total mood reader and not the best planner. I think the review books are what throw it off since I usually pick those quarterly, a quarter out to review on specific dates. Right now I have them scheduled through March so if I do the A-Z challenge, I may not have a complete list or need to make it fluid/subject to change.👍 @Dvmheather @LisaJo I may need to do that. 👍😀 8y

DebinHawaii @SharonGoforth @Suzze Yes! I need to probably get over my need to complete things I start and be more relaxed about it! 😆👍 8y

DebinHawaii @ApoptyGina69 Yay! It is a fun, relaxed challenge & there are monthly prizes! @Dvmheather is awesome! 👍👍👍 8y

DebinHawaii Here's the link to the 2017 Foodies Read Challenge if anyone else wants to check it out: http://www.spiritblog.net/december-foodies-read/ 8y

SharonGoforth @DebinHawaii Thanks for the link! 8y

LitHousewife What does freezer-worthy horror mean? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but I'm not ashamed to ask. 🙂 8y

Jinjer How do I find that challenge on good reads, please? 8y

Jinjer Never mind! Found and joined it. 8y

DebinHawaii @LitHousewife Hah! No worries. It comes from an episode of Friends where Joey puts books that are too scary in the freezer because it makes him feel safe. Great episode featuring The Shining & Little Women. You can find the clip on YouTube if you put in Friends 'The Freezer.' 👍😀 8y

DebinHawaii @Jinjer Glad you found it! It won't let me copy, cut and paste that link for some reason but if anyone else needs it it's under Litsy Reading Challenge on Goodreads: Groups 👍 8y

Daisey I completely get what you're saying! All the of these look great, but I was planning on doing less challenges next year and now I'm back to at least three. I plan to stick with the Read Harder challenge again, this one, and Litsy A to Z, and I will definitely be using books in multiple challenges when possible. 8y

Dvmheather Hi @ApoptyGina69! 8y

DebinHawaii @Daisey I think that's the only way to do it! 👍😀 8y
