hello again!!!

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 i've been hosting this since 2018. it's great fun ... 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. =)

And while we're reading, please feel free to chat about books, your day, anything!

if you ever have any questions, go ahead and post it. the only silly question is the one you don't ask. :D

reserved... just 'cause it's good to have another post reserved. as soon as i don't reserve one, i'll need it for something.... right, Murphy? XD

(and as long as i keep reserving a post that i don't need, i won't need it. right?)

My reading goal for 2026 will be 90 books, 50 of which will again be for the 50 book challenge from the library.

Instead of trying to manage 2 separate list here like I was gonna do last year, I'll share the challenges in case anyone wants to try them and just indicate on my actual book list the challenge I completed with it.

[Kaderin Triste]

I should set a reminder, just for like the end of the month, to remind myself to update my list here. Lol

[trystan830]

i have so many reminders set for like everything.

[Kaderin Triste]

I'm really bad at just clearing phone notifications and ignoring them....but I am gonna add a reminder to my planner and see if that helps. xP

[trystan830]

i've done that too, just to get rid of them
