Why, hello fellow book nerds.
I hope you are keeping safe AND making time to focus on your mental health.
This year, I decided to sign up for some reading challenges. While I adore reading, with my overwhelming tbr list, sometimes its nice to have challenges to point you towards a book. So here is a monthly roundup.
GOODREADS READING CHALLENGE
I challenged myself to read 150 books this year. I am currently at 31 books!
THE BACKLIST READER CHALLENGE hosted by The Bookwyrms Hoard
This challenges rules are simple. If the book has been in your tbr list for a year or more, and wasn't published in 2020, it counts. This months books that count toward this challenge is:
CHUNKSTER READING CHALLENGE hosted by Impressions in Ink
Very simple challenge. Any book you read that is over 450 pages in their hardcover form, counts.
My Chunkster books for February, 2021 are:
READ THE ALPHABET CHALLENGE hosted by Do You Dog-Ear? and Shooting Stars Mag
Also a very simple challenge. Each month is assigned some letters. Read a book that starts with that letter. This month, the challenge was two books that started with C and D. While technically A Court of Silver Flames has an "A" in front of the "C", I'm still counting it, just like I plan on skipping the word "THE" in titles.
THE HISTORICAL READING CHALLENGE hosted by The Adventures of an Intrepid Reader
I'm not a HUGE historical fiction reader, but I do enjoy is from time to time. I have challenged myself to read 15 books this year. Well, like millions of other people in this world, I got hooked on a little Netflix show called Bridgerton, inspired by Julia Quinn's Bridgerton series. So of course I needed to read the books, and it has made a huge dent in my 15 book dent! Current count: 8
THE NETGALLEY AND EDELWEISS READING CHALLENGE hosted by Socrates' Book Reviews
I'm not doing good on this one. haha. I challenged myself to get to level Silver, which is 25 books, but as of right now, I only have one, which was a big hit for me! Check out Five Ways to fall out of love by Emily Martin!
So that is it for this month! Are you signed up for any challenges? Host one? Let me know in the comments!
