This past year, I took a break from reading challenges, and I was starting to feel burnt out from them all. However, after taking a year break from reading challenges, I am more than ready to get back into them. So below are the challenges I will be taking a part of. There are some fun ones I discovered. I really want to stretch myself this year and push my boundaries a bit more.
Goodreads Reading Challenge:
I am going for 400 books, I have done this much before and I accomplished it and I loved it. Most years I read between 300-350, so 400 shouldn’t be too much of a stretch.
Oldie but a Goodie Reading Challenge-
Level 2-Seeking Passion on the High Seas (11-20 books) This number may increase depending on my moods throughout the year.
Out of this World Reading Challenge-
Level 1-Beam Your Way Into Outer Space (5-10 Books) I will be honest, its hard finding good sci fi romance so I may change the level throughout the year.
Under The Covers Romance-opoly-
When I heard about this challenge I just knew that I needed to do this because its going to be SO much fun!! If you love romance, I highly recommend you join in on the fun. I am going to try to read as many categories as I possibly can. My goal for the year is: The Adventurer. This challenge is goLeathering to be fun with the challenges and read a thon’s and a fun monopoly themed game to go along with reading romance.
