Reading Goal Challenge: 2017
Done separately, it would take twenty six books to complete this challenge, so I will most definitely not be doing one book/one goal
But I tip my hat to anyone who takes it on
These are the goals this year:
- Read a book for each of these genres
- Non-Fiction,
- Crime or Thriller or Mystery or Horror,
- Romance,
- Sci-Fi or Fantasy,
- Drama or Poetry,
- Historical,
- Graphic Novel,
- Young Adult,
- and Children's
- Read a Banned Book.
- Read an Anthology.
- Read a book published 100 years (or more) before you were born.
- Read a book that is 500 (or more) pages.
- Read a Retelling or Reimagining of a classic.
- Give a DNF a second chance, or re-read a favorite.
- Read a book you first heard about on this site.
- Catch up with at least one series.
- Start at least one series.
- Read one of the earliest books added to your "to-read" list.
- Read a book with a non-human protagonist.
- Read one book that's being adapted to film this year.
- Read one book by a debut author.
- Read a book that takes place during a holiday (any holiday).
- Read a book set in a country foreign to yours.
- Read a book with multiple POV's.
- Read a book that contains another story in some way.
What is grief, if not love persevering?
Grief is just love with no place to go.
