I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

RC: To Be Read challenges


 To-Be-Read
Reading Challenges

All of these boxes contain books. Okay, one has my 5 (yes, 5) work-in-progress manuscripts but there are how-to write books with it. I can say that not all of the books are unread, just too many of them. I need to redo a couple of bedrooms and bring these home so I can read them.

I'm hoping a couple of challenges will help!


Bookish

Challenge: TBR Pile
Dates: 2014
Hosted by:
For more information and to sign up click here

Basic Requirements: Read the unread books already on your shelf. Nothing from 2014. No ARCs. Any format, any length.

Challenge: Mount TBR
Dates: 2014

Basic Requirements: Read the unread books already on your shelf. No ARCs, no library books, no re-reads. Make a list-or not. You can move up but not down.

There are eight levels, I'm going for . . . Pike's Peak . . . and hope to read 12 books and jump to Mt. Vancouver (36 books).

Basic requirements: read only books you already own or have requested at the library. Exceptions can be made for book clubs, ARCs, school reading, or just-published-but-forgot-to-preorder-it books.
One year I lasted until the first week of March and one year I didn't even make it to February.  I'll also make exceptions for re-reads and new ebooks (hey, some have just published discounts!)

I plan on joining this one too. I'm more impressed that your storage and stacks of boxes look so neat. I know my storage doesn't look that good

Gosh there are a lot of TBR challenges out there.

But I think Dakota makes for the cutest TBR Challenge button.

Thanks for joining us and for helping to spread the word.
