2018 Reading Challenge
 
i set myself a reading challenge every year, which is to read more books than the previous year. 2017 was the first year i did this on Trisphee, and had a great time! (thanks Moonshadow!)

so, (snagging from last year's thread), set a challenge for yourself: read 50 books, read only the books you have at home that you haven't read yet, read a specific genre, read only non-fiction books... whatever you choose.

Your first post should contain your challenge, and use a spoiler to indicate how you are progressing in meeting that challenge. i use a spoiler for my booklist. =)

Please feel free to chat about books, your day, anything!

I'm trying to get back into reading more, and I think I have some books I haven't read in years or at all. So my challenge will be to get those read. xD

trystan830 12-24-2017 11:05 PM

wooo!! that sounds like an awesome challenge, too!

Kaderin Triste 12-25-2017 01:24 AM

Oh snap, I forgot this was starting again!
I'm gonna try to read only 20 books this year because I definitely didn't make it to 30 in 2017.

Mekatra 12-25-2017 01:58 AM

In 2018 I would like to read 60 books, but with the stipulation that they cannot be rereads! I'm really bad about reading the same few books over and over. Time to branch out!

Book List:

*adds all unfinished 2017 books to 2018 list*

trystan830 12-27-2017 12:18 AM

i hope to finish the book i'm reading (in my sig) by the end of this year. =)

Kaderin Triste 12-27-2017 12:56 AM

Ah, I haven't read that one yet, but I love Piers Anthony!

trystan830 12-27-2017 01:01 AM

i'd been trying to reread them for years... but i keep getting books out of the library! i own the Incarnations of Immortality books 1-7. there's an 8th, but i have no interest in it at all.

Kaderin Triste 12-27-2017 01:05 AM

I haven't actually read that series yet, but I love the Xanth series and the Apprentice Adept series.

But then I love puns...

trystan830 12-27-2017 01:58 AM

heh i like puns too, but i've only read his Incarnations of Immortality series....

Quiet Man Cometh 12-27-2017 03:45 AM

Well, I guess I could go easy on myself and try and read more than last year, but given I read very few, that might be harder than it looks. I'll need to migrate my old challenge lists over here. Or perhaps, I'll just keep a list this time and keep track of my aging challenges on paper at home.

Okay, here's my thing!
Books (at least one!) must be completed in the month they are marked for.
