I've already compiled my challenge list for next year. Only 26 books on the challenge list, but it should let me fit in some other options along the way as a realistic goal for me would be about 36-40 books. I based my challenge list on years and letters of the alphabet. At least one book from every decade since 1900 and at one book from an author with a last name beginning with every letter of the alphabet. My list is already on GoodReads here.. At the start of the year I'll move them to the to read pile and start checking them off.
I'm hoping it's a strange and wondrous journey. It's also a bit of a catch-up on some things I should have read by now with a few favourite authors thrown in (Mistry, Pratchett, Valente).
I like the country angle mentioned. Maybe next year will be at least twenty-four countries or maybe an all-Canadian list as I don't read enough local content. |
That's interesting.
I'm still working on what my challenge may be. I want to keep it simple, but I have quite a few TBR books that I know I want on my list for next year.
I still haven't decided between counting pages or books read (or both), but the goal will be somewhere around 50 for me. I'm allocating 24 to the two book clubs, so I won't know what they are until next year.
Of the rest, I was thinking of maybe doing something like a half TBR books and the other half left to spur of the moment or random fun reads.
Still considering the possibilities...
