Well great topic today. I only have done debut challenge ..meaning I try to read alot of new authors with debut books. I did only for 1 year , and it was great . I think that's the only one I continue to do. I don't challenge myself with a number , but I do to kept track on the blog with labels.
They don't restrict me , but I don't do too many of them due to time and other book reviews.
I think a successful challenge where you challenge your goals. I have good reads reading goals with books, and I have done well with that one. I think a reading challenge is what ever you make it to be .
What are your thoughts on this ?? Do you keep track ?? Which one's do you do ??
Thanks Karen & Pam for this topic
I did the Debut Author one my first year of blogging and I loved it. I haven't done it since then however. That's a good idea to keep track of them with labels! I also love what you said about a challenge being whatever you make of it.
ReplyDeleteI have only did it one year too :)
DeleteGood point Julie. It should be as big or small a goal as you think you can handle. No pressure.
ReplyDeleteYes I don't want to totally pressure myself over a reading goal .
DeleteA reading challenge IS whatever you make it to be *nods* I think you can restrict yourself, do it at whatever pace & commit as much as you like. As long as you enjoy it I reckon!
ReplyDeleteYes you can be your own worst enemy with goals
DeleteGreat question! I probably completed about 1/2 of the challenges I participated in last year. My #1 goal is to read 100 books in a year; that's the important one for me. When the reading challenges start popping up at the end of the year, I tend to go a little crazy - I want to participate in so many. But when I think about it, some of them aren't really a 'challenge' for me. I think I participated in 14 challenges in 2012 but I'm only doing 5 this year (plus 3 goals).
ReplyDeletethat's why I only do the goodreads ...just because but the other challenges are too much. wow you rock with all the goals
DeleteI agree. I think a reading challenge can really be anything and I do enjoy to join in to quite a few. But I think my favorite is the GR Book Challenge because it is all encompassing and when the end of the year comes you feel like you completed something big. Great answer.
