2021 Reading Challenge is up. Come tell us how many books you plan to read: 2021 Reading Challenge

Periodical challenges! They're not dead yet!

Yay!

I have an idea for an epic challenge that I really hope ya'll will enjoy. (And I mean epic. It will likely take months, if not well over a year (especially for me ) to complete.)

It will all focus on greek mythology (including facts and links to more information for convenience) and be a type of scavenger hunt.
It should work for all types of readers (not just fantasy fans).
I'm going to try to have it ready by February.

I thought it might be fun to examine how much greek mythology has influenced literature and storytelling.

Sounds good! I love Greek mythology!

Me too

Bring it on!

Sounds great

2019 Challenge is up and ready!

Follow the link and come tell us how many books you want to read this year!

Thanks for letting us know!

Challenges that help people dive into their books with incentive? Love it.

Sooo...obviously I do not have the Mythology challenge done yet.
I need to double check some things before completing it.


Here's hoping I can finish it soon!

I'd like to do a personal challenge. For example, I might do 5 books of varying genres over a 6-month period. Maybe something like this:
1 book about pets.
1 Cozy mystery.
1 historical novel.
1 young adult themed book.
1 book about traveling/foreign culture.

I'm not sure if I am ready to commit yet, just brainstorming for the moment. But I am somewhat interested in the categories listed above (for a challenge). I welcome any thoughts or ideas you might have.
