And here we gooooo!! Please read the comments posted below and let me know if anything is confusing, if you have questions, whatever you need! Hoping this will give y‘all plenty of time to get those lists together 😊 #readyourkindle #readyourebooks #readyournook
If you want to be added to my list or removed, shoot me a comment 😊

CBee 1️⃣ This challenge should pair really well with other challenges, especially #bookspin as they both use lists 😃 I'd already made my #bookspin list for February, and you probably have too (if you participate), so here's what I'd suggest: spin numbers are drawn on the 2nd, so when you're making your spin list, you could maybe include #readyourkindle for a few of the entries; ⬇️ (edited) 3mo

CBee alternatively, you could just have a whole separate list for #readyourkindle, et al. Totally up to you and really low-key/customizable. Mix and match your lists however you'd like!
(edited) 3mo

CBee 2️⃣ You do NOT have to read all four books drawn! Maybe aim to read at least two, but as I said, this is low-key and if you don't get to it, it's okay! 3mo

CBee 3️⃣ Make sure to tag me when you post your list and when you read your books, and use whatever hashtag fits your challenge: we have #readyourkindle, #readyourebooks, and #readyournook. (edited) 3mo

CBee 4️⃣ I‘ll try to do a bonus prompt each time (read the book you‘ve had the longest, the shortest, stuff like that) 😊 3mo

CBee 5️⃣ The most important thing: have FUN and bust the Kindle/Nook/E-book backlog! Reach out to me anytime with questions - this is totally new to me as well, so we can all muddle through together. Thanks for participating! 3mo

AmyG I may only be able to read one book. I‘ve got alot of challenges going on! 3mo

TheBookHippie This is super easy to do - YAY! 3mo

CBee @AmyG it‘s low-key, friend 😊 You know my crazy self couldn‘t get all complicated with it 😂😂 3mo

CBee @TheBookHippie yay, I‘m glad you think so! Happy to have you along ♥️ 3mo

dabbe #yourock 🖤🩶🖤 3mo

Crazeedi I already have kindle book on my bookspin! But I may make separate list. Is there a date like monthly to post list? Or just one list to keep working on? 3mo

Crazeedi Ok I guess I didn't see you saying you'll post on the 2nd? 3mo

JenReadsAlot Woohoo!! 3mo

CBee @Crazeedi I‘ll post the numbers on the 5th of each month. So it‘ll be February 5, and so on. I didn‘t want to do it on the same day as #bookspin as I thought that might be overwhelming. 3mo

Crazeedi @CBee ok that's great! Thank you!! I'm going to get a list 3mo

CBee @dabbe aw thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️ 3mo

CBee @Crazeedi you‘ve got time, and remember no pressure ♥️ 3mo

CloakNQuill love this!!! my e-books on my iPad are so neglected. Add please :) (edited) 3mo

CBee @CloakNQuill yay! Will do 😊 (edited) 3mo

Meshell1313 Perfect plan!!!! 3mo

CBee @Meshell1313 thank you! 3mo

rubyslippersreads Working on my list! 😁 3mo

CBee @rubyslippersreads yay 😁 3mo

ElizaMarie Oooo this is great! Thanks!!! 3mo

ElizaMarie I‘m just using my list in alphabetical order so I don‘t have to think so hard :) 3mo

CBee @ElizaMarie the less complicated, the better 😃 3mo

kelli7990 I‘m going to have to think about the 20 ebooks I want to read and make a list. I haven‘t decided yet. 3mo

Sapphire Ok. Making my list. I am going to include ones I have started since I have lots in open but don‘t return to. This will help me make several goals! 3mo

monkeygirlsmama I have Kindle lists, Nook lists, iPad lists... I'm going to limit this challenge to my Kindle list and I'll sit down between now and the 5th to pull my list together. I think this should be fun! Thank you so much for putting this challenge together. 😸 3mo

CBee @kelli7990 sure thing! You‘ve got time 😁 3mo

CBee @Sapphire I‘m so glad! 😁 3mo

CBee @monkeygirlsmama that‘s a lotta lists! 😁😂 And you‘re welcome ☺️ 3mo

TheSpineView I'm dreading finding out just how large my backlog is. Hoping this challenge will help me make a dent. 3mo

Read4life Looks great! Getting my list together. Thanks. 💙 3mo

andreadmw Scrolling through my books I‘m equally terrified to pick 20 and so excited to do this. 3mo

OutsmartYourShelf I'm just using the first 10 fiction & first 10 nonfiction books off my list for the 20 books. That way it will be a complete surprise. 3mo

Vansa I would like to join too! By when do I need to post the list of 20, by today? 3mo

CBee @Vansa awesome! I‘ll add you to my tag list. No need to post by today, you have until February 5 - that‘s when I‘ll draw the numbers. 😊 3mo

CBee @TheSpineView I hope so too! 😊 3mo

CBee @andreadmw you can do it 👏🏻👏🏻 3mo

CBee @OutsmartYourShelf sounds like a great plan 😃 3mo

CBee @Read4life 😊😊 3mo

TheAromaofBooks Perfect!!! My Kindle books are already in one big long list, oldest to newest, so I'm just going to do the next 20 each month 😂 3mo

CBee @TheAromaofBooks sounds good! How‘d I know you‘d probably already have a list of those somewhere? 😂 😜 3mo

TheAromaofBooks @CBee - I try not to talk about it, but I may have a PROBLEM with lists 😂 3mo

CBee @TheAromaofBooks I love lists! There are worse problems to have 😁😂 (edited) 3mo

Liz_M @LitsyEvents 3mo

E.Bolhafner I have 344 books on my kindle, 3 are PDFs [one of which I own not in ebook]. I added the PDFs and the oldest 17 books onto my list. 2011 0.o. Hopefully this helps me clear out my kindle. I should try to clear out my iBooks but my oldest one on there is Middlemarch and I don't think I could read Middlemarch and another book in a month. That thing is dense and long. Plus iBooks has 676 books/pdfs and uhhh no. 3mo

CBee @E.Bolhafner wow! I hope this helps you! 🤞🏻🤞🏻 3mo

CBee @Liz_M thank you, I was remembering to tag y‘all and then forgot on the most important post 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 3mo

E.Bolhafner @CBee I think there is a lot of overlap. I noticed one of the 20 in kindle is also in iBooks as part of an anthology 🤓 3mo

CBee @E.Bolhafner I‘ve bought duplicates like that before, it happens 😂🤷‍♀️ 3mo

E.Bolhafner @CBee oh jeesh it is worse than that! I will be downloading things from bookfunnel or something in both formats. Stuff your kindle days offers more books via kindle but they also offer ibooks and kobo books and there is overlap. At least I rarely purchased the same item twice!

Most of my ibooks are pdfs from the parenting bundles or vegan bundles so ebooks or shorter things and some knitting patterns. 3mo

Liz_M @CBee I only remember to add the tag if it is an event that i am intrigued by 😆 3mo

CBee @E.Bolhafner oh wow! I‘ve accidentally bought both the print book and the ebook too. But you win, that‘s a lot 😂😂 3mo

CBee @Liz_M care to join us? 😁 3mo

BookwormAHN I so needed this 😸 3mo

CBee @BookwormAHN I‘ll add you 😊 3mo

BookwormAHN Thanks! 3mo

Vansa @CBee excellent, thank you!! 3mo

RaeLovesToRead I am going to do this, BUT I'm gonna treat it casually... basically I want to have 1 book on the go on my Kindle each month and this should be a good way of making sure I don't neglect them! 😄 3mo

RaeLovesToRead I will pick a book from those you've drawn as my "up next" ? 3mo

CBee @RaeLovesToRead yes! It‘s all about casual, I couldn‘t do anything strict! Ain‘t nobody got time for that 😂😂 3mo

RaeLovesToRead Currently doing all the Litsy challenges... badly!!!! 😅😅😅 3mo

CBee @RaeLovesToRead I tried to do a bunch at once and failed spectacularly 😂 3mo

Liz_M I ma not fussed about having a large e-library, even though I mostly just read library loans on my ereader. I have quite a backlog of physical books that I need to read, though! 3mo

CBee @Liz_M I have both 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️ 3mo

CBee @Suzze here you go - I hope it helps! I‘ll draw the numbers on Friday this week 😊 2w

Suzze @CBee Thanks! That really helps! 🤣 2w

CBee @Suzze yay 😀 2w

CBee @robinb here ya go! I started this in February 😊 April numbers were drawn on the 5th! 2w

robinb @CBee OK Cydney, not sure where I‘ve been 🙄, but this sounds super easy! Please add me to your master list, and I‘ll plan to start in May. And BTW, my Kindle sends a heartfelt, enthusiastic and maxed out THANK YOU! 😂😂😂 2w

CBee @robinb it‘s super easy and VERY laid back 😊 I‘ll add you to my tag list! Yay 😁 2w

robinb @CBee 🤗🤗🤗 2w

So glad I finally read this one. Written in the 60‘s, this gives me a lot to think about between the then and now when it comes to mental illness, love interests and relationships. Have we progressed? Enough? #Pop22 ~ a sapphic book

BarbaraBB Absolutely a must read! 1y

Cortg @BarbaraBB After marking it read in Goodreads, I noticed my daughter had it marked to-read in her account, so I texted her and left it on her desk to take back to school when she comes home next 😀 1y

squirrelbrain Such a good book, and a great choice for this prompt! 1y
