2023 Reading Challenge Info .....

I have decided to start over on here, since I haven't been active since 2021 and I had only like 100 posts and nothing consistent. 

This year for the first time I am doing book challenges. I may have bit off more then I can chew or in this case read but I am having so much fun seeing how much I can get read and how many prompts I can fill in. 

Book challenges  
          The 52 book club's 2023 reading challenge plus mini challenges 
          POPSUGAR 2023 reading challenge 
          Creating & Co 2023 Reading Royalty challenge plus mini challenges 
          Buzzword 2023 reading challenge 
          Read your bookshelf 2023 challenge 
          LiterALLy BOOKish's Alphabet title challenge 
          The Nerdy Bookworm 50 books a year reading challenge 2023 

Plus I always do the x number of books a year through Goodreads, same as last year 52 books and the quarterly kindle challenges.

With all these challenges I want to read my physical books and kindle books before using the library or buying any books for the challenges. I plan to use comics, graphic novels, audiobooks and rereads as well. 

I have had so much fun sitting down with all the prompts and planning out the books I want to read for them. I have multiple books for each prompt in most cases because I am a mood reader and you just never know what I will be in the mood for. 

I know their are prompts that I won't be doing. Just not interesting in those types of books. While I know these challenges are meant to help get you out of your comfort zone but for me that is a one way ticket to a reading slump. If I have to read a book then I am done. 

I plan to use one book over multiple prompts if I can but not in the same challenge unless it is a mini challenge. 

I will be doing a book journal to keep track of the books I read this year for the first time and what prompts I use for each book. I got one off of Amazon. 

Plus I have a binder with all the challenges printed out. I know totally old school but I love it. Keeps everything organized and at hand to keep me on track. 

I am using Storygraph for the digital tracking of my challenges. I have plans to print them out at the end of the year on sticker paper and add it to a bullet journal that I will be making through out the year. 

Can't you tell I have too much time on my hands. lol 

Will update this post as I go with other reading challenge info as I go.
