Posted January 31, 2021 in Reading / 0 Comments

If you have been a long-time reader of the blog, you know I love a good reading challenge… and so here goes… these are the challenges that I have picked for 2021.

Last Updated: 20 June 2021

1. Annual Goodreads Challenge

I have actually not been reading very much at all. My 2016 Goodreads goal was 100, 2017 was 75, 2018 was 40, 2019 was 20, 2020 was 25, and this year it is set at 25 again… but I really do hope to pass that!

The list of books for this reading challenge can be found on My Bookshelf page where I list all the books I read each year.

2. 2021 Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge hosted by Escape with Dollycas

This is a fun challenge where the goal is to read one book for each letter of the alphabet. Typically it is for books starting with that letter but I make exceptions for some of the harder letters to find.

3. 2021 Color Coded Reading Challenge hosted by My Reader’s Block

This is a fun challenge that is an attempt to read nine books that fit the different color categories. The color can either be in the name or the main color on the cover. This is always a fun one to try.

4. 2021 What’s In A Name Reading Challenge hosted by Carolina Book Nook

I have participated in this challenge in the past and always found it fun to see how many of the books I read fit the categories. I tend not to read just to fit the categories but more just fit what I already read into the categories.
