2017 - 2024
hosted by Michelle of The True Book addict
Here are the guidelines:
- choose 50+ non-fiction books; the number is up to you. Choose 50, 75, 100, 200. It's entirely your choice
- Books must be non-fiction--biography, autobiography, history, memoir, cooking, travel, science, etc.
- list them at your blog (or on Goodreads or another social media site, if you do not have a blog)
- choose your completion goal date five years in the future and make note of it with your list of titles (like this: reading goal--50 books goal dates--March 20, 2012 - March 20, 2017)
- come back here and post the link to your list in the linky below
- write a review (or a short summary) on the book when finished and link it to the title in your list (or link to your review on Goodreads, again, if you don't have a blog)
- there will be pages posted at the top of the blog for you to link your reviews
- when you have completed the challenge, come add your link to the Completed Challenges page
- there will be a blog roll in the sidebar where I will list you/your blog linked to your lists
- grab the button in the right sidebar and link it back to this blog
- check out this PAGE which contains links to various online sources with lists of reading ideas
- I might host a read-a-long from time to time. If you are hosting one, or an event or challenge surrounding a non-fiction title, post about it at this PAGE
- this challenge can be crossed over with any other challenges
- your link in the linky below must lead to your list, not just your main blog address. Any links that are that are blog links only will be delete

I read your post (I'm a subscriber), and immediately thought it was a brand-new challenge. After I joined up I went back and read the date. Oh well, I guess it doesn't matter when you actually start, as long as you try :)
There you go....leading me down the challenge addiction path again. I know I have at least 50 non-fiction books that need reading, so I'll be joining up momentarily.
Yay! You joined me for another of my challenges. I'm so glad. You have some interesting books on your list. I wish you much success with the challenge!
I'm terrible because I have not even started reading yet and I started last year. Yikes, I'm so behind!
