I have set a few challenges for myself, reading wise, this year. There's nothing big since I don't want it to be a stressful component in my life, but more of a challenge to branch out a bit.
First, I have my goodreads challenge. Now, last year I read 80 books, and usually I would challenge myself to read more than I did the year before. But since the number is so high, I don't feel the need to do that. Therefore, I set the challenge to 35 books. I did consider setting it to 52, doing one book a week, but I have no idea what this year is going to bring, so I'm playing it safe.
I have on other challenge. It's pretty much the popsugar 2016 reading challenge, but with a few changes and such. My finished challenge ended up looking like this;
- A book based on a fairy tale
- A YA bestseller
- A book set in Norway
- A book translated to English
- A romance set in the future
- A book set in Europe
- A book that's under 150 pages
- A New York Times bestseller
- A book that's becoming a movie this year
- A self-improvement book
- A book you can finish in a day
- A book written by a celebrity
- A book at least 100 years older than you
- A science-fiction novel
- A book recommended by a family member
- A graphic novel
- A book that's published in 2016
- A book with a protagonist who has your occupation
- A classic from the 20th century
- A book from the library
- An autobiography
- A book about a road trip
- A book about a culture you're unfamiliar with
- A satirical book
- A book that takes place on an island
- A book that's guaranteed to bring you joy
- A book written by a comedian
- A dystopian novel
- A book with a blue cover
- A book of poetry
- The first book you see in a bookstore/library
- A book that takes place during summer
- A murder mystery
I 'll probably combine some of these challenges, but it's still a great challenge for reading something I normally wouldn't read. I will also have a page with this challenge on it, where I'll put up the books I read that fits into the different categories.
What are your reading challenges this year?
