I’m a bit late to the party – I started this post and then forgot to finish and post it, so we’re now into March! Oh well, better late than never. I enjoy the PopSugar Reading Challenge because of the sheer amount of prompts. This year it has fifty prompts. And even a reader

READING CHALLENGE | BOOK RIOT’S 2022 READ HARDER
Book Riot’s annual Read Harder Challenge is probably one of the (if not THE) best-known. It does a fantastic job of covering a great mixture of genres, topics, spins on topics and is very purposefully diverse. There’s something for every reader here – and something to challenge every reader, too! Because I only read about 30

READING CHALLENGE | BOOK RIOT’S READ HARDER CHALLENGE 2020
I love Book Riot’s yearly Read Harder Challenge. It always has an original mixture of prompts that encourage readers to stretch out of their comfort zone – whatever that comfort zone is. It represents diversity across the board and doesn’t make any reader’s favourite genre, format or topic seem inadequate. I never manage to finish

READING CHALLENGE | POPSUGAR 2019 READING CHALLENGE
I really enjoy the POPSUGAR Reading Challenge because it has so many prompts and they vary so widely. Of course this also makes it one of the hardest to complete, and if I ever do manage to do so, I’m fairly sure there will be some sort of prize ceremony involved. A book

READING CHALLENGE | BOOK RIOT’S READ HARDER 2019
We all know by now that there’s no way I’m going to complete any reading challenges this year, except maybe for my Goodreads goal. But that’s no reason to ignore them completely – if I even manage to tick off two or three of the challenges from this list this year I’ll call it

2017 READING CHALLENGE | THE POPSUGAR READING CHALLENGE
I’m very late to this particular party, and I don’t expect to complete the challenge this year – but it’s always good to have goals in life. Not to mention inspiration. So here’s the ones I did manage to complete: Are you participating in the PopSugar 2017 reading challenge? Which ones have you checked

2017 READING CHALLENGE | BOOK RIOT READ HARDER CHALLENGE
Book Riot’s Read Harder Challenge is one of the most diverse, eye-opening and fun annual reading challenges out there. They always manage to come up with prompts I never would have thought of, they cover a huge variety of themes and genres, and they make it so you feel like you’ve really accomplished something important

READATHON | DEWEY’S 24 HOUR READATHON
It’s that time of year again – time for Dewey’s 24 Hour Readathon! It starts tomorrow (for a list of start times by time zone, go here) and goes all day long. I was supposed to be away right now, so I’m a bit late to the party, but better late than never, right?

READING CHALLENGE | BOOKS ON THE NIGHTSTAND BINGO
Okay, so I’ve basically forgotten about all the reading challenges I enthusiastically signed up for at the beginning of the year (except for the Goodreads challenge, but let’s face it, that pretty much takes care of itself as long as you track what you’re reading on Goodreads). But my friend Julianne who blogs over

READATHON | BOUT OF BOOKS 2015
So I’ve decided, at the very last minute, to join in the Bout of Books read-a-thon! It starts today and runs right through the next week. Here’s a bit about Bout of Books in case you’re not familiar: The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly

2015 READING CHALLENGE | CANLIT READING BINGO
Retreat By Random House has brought back their wonderful Reading Bingo Challenge – and this year, it’s CanLit (Canadian Literature) focused! Not sure if I’ll manage to cross off the whole card, but I’m sure going to try! Here’s the list, so I can add in the titles of books as I complete them: A

2015 READING CHALLENGE | ANNE OF GREEN GABLES READALONG
I was perusing Lindsey Reeder’s blog, Reeder Reads the other week, and I came across this post on her reading goals for 2015. In among her personal goals and reading challenges, she announced her intention to read the entire Anne of Green Gables series by L.M. Montgomery. Being Canadian, this series formed a large part

2015 READING CHALLENGE | BOOKISH TBR PILE CHALLENGE
Because it’s an easy one to do in the normal course of my reading, I’m participating in the Bookish TBR Pile Challenge once again! The rules for this particular challenge are simple: any book published in or before 2014 is eligible. So, basically, any book not released this year. Piece of cake! Last year I

2015 READING CHALLENGE | THE POPSUGAR ULTIMATE READING CHALLENGE
I’ve been looking around for fun reading challenges to participate in in 2015, and came across this one on PopSugar. I love reading challenges that have lots of random criteria, they encourage me to look at books I would otherwise have passed over. So, without further ado: My progress so far: A book with more

READING CHALLENGE | OFFICIAL 2015 TBR PILE CHALLENGE
Every year Roof Beam Reader hosts an Official TBR Pile Challenge. The aim of this challenge is to get through some of the books that have been sitting on our TBR piles for at least a year. That means that this year, any book published in 2013 or before is eligible. This is the

2015 READING CHALLENGE | BOOK RIOT’S 2015 READ HARDER CHALLENGE
I didn’t manage to complete all my reading challenges from last year, but I had great fun participating in them, and I did find that they caused me to foray into new reading territory and discover a few books that I am very glad to have read. So this year I’m trying again. I’ll

LINK-UP | A to Z 2014 READING CHALLENGE HOSTED BY SOCK POPPET AT PLAY
I like the randomness of this challenge. For every letter of the alphabet, a different book element has been picked, and it’s a pretty eclectic mix. Here’s the list: A is for April (the month in which you read the book) – The Silence of Bonaventure Arrow by Rita Leganski B is for Bathing
