Default 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.

We're all mad here.
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.

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...
