20 Books Of Summer-2023 & Big Book Summer Challenge

It's no secret that I have been trying to whittle down my physical TBR shelves, as well as my Goodreads shelf (although I am continually adding to that one 😂).

So, when I saw the 20 books of summer challenge going around again, hosted by 746 Books, I decided not to participate, then instantly changed my mind, LOL. I thought it had been a few years since I participated, but it was only last summer 😂. This year has been incredibly long, LOL! The other sad thing is that there are books from last year's list that I STILL haven't read, sigh.

The details are flexible...you can choose 10, 15, or 20 books for the summer, read AND review them.

If your goal gets overwhelming you can drop down the number of books you want to read.

You can plan your list in advance and change it if you need to.

That's pretty much it. You can head over to 746 Books to see all the details and see who is participating...and add your link if you want to join in the fun. The challenge runs from June 1-September 1, 2023.

I am a planner so I will be planning out 16 books based on my ARC's that need to be read, along with books on my physical shelf that I have been wanting to read forever and haven't gotten around to it. That leaves room for some mood reading too 😀

The goal of the Big Book Summer Challenge is to read at least one book that has 400+ pages (any genre, any age). The Challenge runs from May 25th-September 4th and is hosted by Sue at Book by Book. You can head over to her blog for all the details.

I am going to set my goal at 3, if I do more, great, if not, at least I (hopefully) will get three in. I OWN 14 physical books and 54 Kindle books with 400+ pages, and I have 48 that I want to read on my Goodreads TBR. I literally have over 100 possibilities 😂

Here are the ones I am actually going to choose from:

Are you participating in either one (or both) of these challenges? What books are you hoping to read this summer? Which of these do you recommend I read first?!
