2019 Reading Challenge | #1 | ||
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, (i had a great time! thanks Moonshadow!) and last year i had fun hosting... so here we are again!
so, (snagging from previous threads), 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! ![]()

Hmmm...I did pretty abysmal last year. I think this year, my goal will be...only 15 books. *Was only gonna try for 12, one per month, but I actually have a lot of in progress books, so I should be able to maybe finish a couple of those off in a month.

I was hoping this would be here! I flaked out and forgot.
My challenge this year is to read (for challenge credit) only the books I already own! (Christmas presents count. ;)) For extra fun, I've wrapped them all so it's going to be something of a surprise which ones I end up reading and in what order. ~ Quiet's Book Challenge 2019 ~ "The Incomplete Bookshelf" [spoil]2018 holdouts: Vas - Tomasula January: Sword of Destiny - Sapkowski James and the Giant Peach - Dahl February: Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of NIMH - O'Brien Fatty Legs - Joran-Fenton & Pokiak-Fenton The Prince and the Dressmaker - Wang Confessions of an Imaginary Friend - Cuevas March: Coraline - Gaiman Bunnicula Meets Edgar Allan Crow - Howe I work at a Public Library - Sheridan Cthulhu Tales - various Tom Gates: Dog Zombies Rule! (for now) - Pichon April: The Asylum of Dr. Caligari - Morrow May: Kind of didn't happen. June: Tom Gates: Extra Special Treats! (Not) - Pichon Summer fail! Fall: Moral Combat - Markey & Ferguson September: A Whale In Paris - Polders & Presley

Hee hee.
I like reading job stories. Some stuff can get a little odd, and people can be weird about anything. | ||||

I hate that expression. And it's always cited by the most irritating customers.
Will totally check it out! | ||||

>->; I should probably read more often..I didn't read a lot at all last year...
Can I join the reading challenge? :[ I have quite a few things I've not gotten around to reading and even got two books for Christmas. <x[ I've been neglecting the book book books. Like finishing Frankenstein finally, and re-reading a collection of short stories that I read a long time ago in Jr. High, and also getting around to reading the harry potter series in order this time...
