Library Books Reading Challenge



Library Books
Reading Challenge
2013


hosted by Gina at Book Dragon's Lair

Sign- up here

Our love of reading can be expensive! Not only are we purchasing books but we also need space to keep them. I've started using the library (again) but couldn't find a challenge to help me. Here it is. There are a number of levels, for those who don't have a library card yet to those that live there. Enjoy!

 Requirements:
  • choose a level - you may move up as needed, just not down.
  • check books out of the library
  • books may overlap with other challenges
  • any format allowed (print, ebook, audio)
  • reviews are not necessary but a list of books read is. (post with review linky)
  • a blog is not necessary, just comment that you want to join in

Levels:
  • board book - 3
  • picture book - 6
  • early reader - 9
  • chapter book - 12
  • middle grades - 18
  • Young adult - 24
  • adult - 36
  • just insert IV - 50 
Ready?

    I'm not doing any challenges next year, except for 100 books in a year challenge, maybe, but this challenge does sound good. Have fun!

    I'm in! I'm playing it safe and signing up for the lowest level, but I'm sure that will be exceeded.

    Is it Ok to change your level? I'm pretty sure I can make it to 50 or more.

    Really glad you picked this one up. The old Library challenge I did last year disappeared and I just did have the time to pick it up myself. I would have really missed it.

    Awesome, thanks for hosting!
    I did something similar last year but I hadn't found anyone else this year so am so glad I came across yours. :D

    Looking forward to this! I'm going to take each level as it comes but I'm sure I'll make it to at least my goal of Chapter Book (12 books).

    I'm new to book blogging but hope to read 50 books this year. I'll aim for the young adult level! This could be fun :)

    Question: If I sign up now, should I start counting books from now or can I count all library books since Jan 1, 2013? (I'm going to sign up either way...just want to count correctly.)

    ReplyDelete
  30. Book DragonJanuary 15, 2013 at 5:04 PM

    Good question Bev, sorry it wasn't clear.

    All books, checked out of the library and finished, count...IF it happened during 2013.

    reserved during 2012 for a 2013 check out still counts if you read it this year.

    clear as mud?

  32. Kate MaxwellJanuary 17, 2013 at 8:34 AM

    Thanks for hosting this! Fits perfectly with the fact that I try to get books from the library before going out to buy. Unfortunately, we live in a small town with a small library...thank goodness for amazon!?!

    Very interesting, I'm playing with "Young Adult" level, and I'm the number 66.

    One of my favorite challenges year after year. Being conservative by starting at Adult level, but will probably end up inserting that IV. Thanks for hosting. :D

  36. BethFebruary 4, 2013 at 4:27 PM

    So excited! I'm going for adult level- 36 books!

    Joining this challenge late in the game, but excited for it:D I'm an adult, so 37 books for me. I love libraries and think this challenge is perfect. I cannot purchase all the books I read and I am a big library supporter!

    Sorry to sign up for the challenge so many times. You can delete 25, 26, and 80 off the list if they let you do that.

  45. Lija BrokaJune 28, 2013 at 2:18 PM

    Considering of joining. Just a few questions. Is this only fiction? (for purposes of choosing levels) ... I tend to borrow lots of craft books from the library; skim read/look through projects ... maybe even do some. Can these be included?

    ReplyDelete
  46. Book DragonJune 29, 2013 at 7:31 AM

    @Lija Broka - not sure, I just assumed we'd be reading cover to cover but you're right, using the library for craft or cook books is a great idea. How about if you do a project, you can count the book?

    I just passed the "Adult" level! Now, I'm working my way toward having a library IV inserted. :P
