With the exception of Goodreads Reading Challenge last year, I'd not thought of a reading challenge since I was a child. But someone posted to my favorite book club this master list of reading challenges from girlxoxo and I wanted to join at least half of them. I didn't, of course. I joined four: Back to Classics, Southern Literature, Cruisin' Through the Cozies, and Buzzwordathon. I also set myself two smaller, more personal challenges. Of course, I will also be reading lots of romances! I'm really excited about my year of reading ahead. I hope to read at least 100 books. It would be great if it turns out I read more.
I've decided to keep track of the books I read for the official reading challenges here -- at least, it seems a good idea at the moment! My book reviews, however, will continue to be posted on my one blog, Grains of Sand. No more multiple blogs for this writer! There are categories in the sidebar for ease of use.
I hope that this encourages you to read even more and also to join a book club! I love my online book club, Book Nerds Review. So much fun!
