Alphabet Soup Challenge
There are some letters on my page of book reviews that don't have any books under them and I think it's high time for that to change. I've decided that I will read a book for every letter of the alphabet this year because that would be fun. (excluding the "the"s in the book titles) Here's where I will keep track of that adventure. I'm not going to necessarily read the books in alphabetical order, but hopefully I will get to each book.

The Book List Challenge
I've been reading off a book list since 2007. This year I would like to continue to read more books off of it. It's a yearly updated book list so books change and disappear off the list, others are added. There are over 450 books to read, so it shouldn't be a problem. It's the Teenreads Ultimate Reading List if you'd like to take a look.
My goal is 10 books off the list this year.
1.
Every year I debate joining up for reading challenges and every year I don't O.O I have this fear that the moment I'd sign up everything would go to crap and I'd fail miserably LOL Anyway, some of these challenges are new to me so I need to look them up properly! Good luck with all of these Alex^^ knock 'em dead :D
ReplyDeleteThanks! I like the ones that offer me categories or genres to fill. I think it's fun to find books that fill those requirements but I don't put too much pressure on finishing them. Otherwise reading becomes way less fun. :)
DeleteSo many good challenges!! I always try to do book challenges and even though I fail at almost every single one it is still fun to participate. Thanks for the recommendations =D. I will defiantly be doing the eclectic Reader challenge!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the challenges in 2016 ^.^
Thank you! I wish you well on your challenges in 2016! :D We should keep each other updated with the Eclectic Reader Challenge, I may need some help coming up with books this year!
