If you've read my blog this week, you already know that my 2018 reading challenges were an epic failure. I'm okay with it for many reasons, but that experience also convinced me to set my sights on something easier. Looks like I found it.
This reading challenge is sponsored by Linz the Bookworm and Tress at The Logophile. This challenge offers a “choose your own challenge” format, with five possible tiers to complete, depending on how many books per month you want to commit to read. They should get more challenging as you go along. There is a “free space” in each level and Level 3 includes three spots to read an entire trilogy. Some categories are repeated from last year and others have been modified to offer some new options.
Level 1: Book of the Month Club
1. A book with a red cover
2. Read a YA fiction novel
3. A book under 300 pages
4. A book you got for free
5. Reread the first book of a series you love
6. Read a book that takes place during the summer
7. A book whose title starts with the letter M
8. Read a romance novel
9. A book that has been turned into a TV show or movie
