Hey Littens! I'm writing a paper about reading challenges/goals. So I'm curious, how many challenges/ book clubs do you participate in on a monthly basis? Such as bookspin, natural litsy, booked in time, Litsy Scifi Book Club, etc... Or what is the most unique challenge you've ever done? Tell me all about it!
willaful One of the most interesting challenges I ever did was called “Making it Real“ and it was a monthly nonfiction challenge. A random Dewey category (400s, 700s, etc.) was picked every month and everyone chose a book catalogued with that number. It got me to read much more widely. 9mo
Ruthiella Two challenges, I‘m not that serious about them: #52BookClub24 and #pop24 and two TBR busters #TBRTarot and #Roll100 . At least seven group reads, though two just finished and another is bi-monthly: #LMWBR #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub #ClassicLSFBC #LitsySFBC #LitsyToB24 #NancyDrewBR and #pemberlittens #hashtagbrigade . I like how each makes me read more widely. 9mo
Susanita Three book clubs plus #authoramonth plus #serieslove2024 plus #readordonate … Too much??? 9mo

thebacklistbook I try to stick to challenges that are more freeform in nature. I track them on storygraph. I usually do them with the goal of clearing some tbr. I'm doing read around the world and OWLS which are both finish at your own pace and then I have three that are finish at year end. I don't do book clubs as I find them a little to structured. 9mo
Karisimo @Ruthiella and @willaful thanks for including. “Why” you do the challenges! (edited) 9mo
Karisimo Thanks @thebacklistbook ! 9mo
Karisimo @Susanita definitely not too much 😉 9mo
Karkar I do not usually do them anymore. I found that for me it became too much like homework instead of enjoying the reading time. 9mo
Karisimo @karkar you‘re not alone! A lot of people feel the same! 9mo
StayCurious I find they motivate me and help me out of the dreaded reading slump! 9mo
Kimzey @Karisimo I‘m sure your paper was submitted long ago. I can handle two reading challenges per month: one online and one IRL book club. Sometimes online falls by the wayside. I find participating in the clubs helps me expand and diversify my reading because others choose what I might not typically select for myself. 2w
