Happy New Year, all! I’m currently devouring several great titles which I hope to talk about soon here at the Readers Corner (the recent Man Booker nominee His Bloody Project is making me realize how much I miss good juicy murder mysteries!), but I’m not there yet.
So in the meantime, here at the start of a new reading year, let’s talk about 2017 Reading Challenges!
I’ve vowed to attempt to read 100 books again this year over on Goodreads (nearly made it in 2016, clocking in at 96!).
BookRiot is hosting their Read Harder Challenge for the third year running. The goal is to get you out of your reading comfort zone and to try new genres, authors, or themes.
For the waaaaaaay more ambitious than I am: 52 Weeks, 52 Books! Just like it says on the tin: read one book per week on a given theme. Said themes include a Harry Potter Re-Read, A Book with “Some” In the Title, and Feminist Sci-Fi Novel.
For readers who just wanna have fun: Modern Mrs. Darcy is pitching a 2017 Reading for Fun challenge. Click here to see the list.
Need more ideas? Tanya Patrice has you covered (alphabetically!) over at GirlXOXO.com. Click here to check out her master list of 2017 Reading Challenges!
Happy Reading! I’m not sure I’ll be joining a challenge given the Great Challenge Fail of 2015, but I might use a few of these lists for inspiration.
