The first challenge I decided to do was Chantel's Read Your Bookshelf challenge. I did it in 2022, but she is doing it again in 2023 with different prompts, and it's a bit more challenging and fun.
Then the next challenge I decided to do was Oceana's Christian Romance Reading Challenge 2023. Both of these ladies are booktubers that I follow. Oceana's prompts are:

I love reading Bloggin' 'bout Books (Susan's blog) and when I saw she was doing a challenge on BOOKISH BOOKS, yeah, I was pretty much there 😂 It is very low pressure, you pick your level. I have a few bookish books on my TBR that I want to get to this year, so this will help me be intentional with that goal. I am going for the lowest level:
Toe in the door: 1-10 books
Finally, I saw this one going around on Instagram. It's the backlist challenge to read 23 books in 2023. Since I was already planning to unofficially work on my backlog, I decided I could commit to 23 books.

Are you joining in the challenge?! Do we have any books in common? I know I am not the only one who has bookshelves full of books that I need to read 😂
What challenges have you decided to do this year?
It is so tempting to join all the challenges! I am only doing two this year - Read 52 Books in 52 Weeks and Crusin' Thru the Cozies. It looks like you picked some fun ones. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGretchen, it is but I did scale waaaaay back. And, I intentionally did not do any of the "big" ones, like any of the 50 ones, LOL!
DeleteGood luck with your challenges!
ReplyDeleteThanks Yvonne!
DeleteI haven't quite finished deciding what challenges to join. I know you're going to do great with these challenges, Cindy
ReplyDeleteThanks Wendy!
DeleteFun! There are SO many challenges. I wish I could do them all.
ReplyDeleteMe too, Kami, but I think it would kill our enjoyment of reading!
DeleteI told myself I would only do one challenge this year too and then signed up for several. Oh well. It's an excuse to read, right? Good luck on all your challenges! I'm doing the Bookish Books Reading Challenge too. :-)
ReplyDeleteWendy, yay, we can spur one another on!!
DeleteWhat great challenges! I hope you have fun with them this year, happy reading!
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah!
DeleteI haven't done an challenge but trying to get to 100 books last year. We will be back home next week and then I will see if I will do any challenges for the new year...
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all of these!
Thanks Mareli!
DeleteI signed up for Bookish Books but no other, except for the Goodreads Reading challenge. Good luck with it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Harvee!
