Welcome to my initial foray into the
Around the Year in 52 Books Reading Challenge!
I have been having sooooo much fun
Around the Year in 52 Books Reading Challenge!
I have been having sooooo much fun
compiling and organizing
I have seen others refer to it these past few years
but never felt I wanted to tackle such an
intense and wide-reaching reading challenge.
This year has changed that perspective for me and
I have decided to take the leap and go for it!
I am approaching this a bit differently since I do
not have enough reading time throughout the year
to read 52 individual books for this challenge.
I am counting each book for all applicable prompts.
I think it will be fun to see just how many prompts
can be fulfilled with each book!
I will list each book that is already scheduled for all the book clubs
in which I participate this year.
Obviously I will need to update as more books are scheduled.
I am also trying to read as many as possible from the books I already own.
With that in mind, each book will be coded as follows:
* A book scheduled as a 2019 read for a book club
** A book I already own
Once I have read one of the books listed for a prompt,
both that prompt and the book's title will appear in bold.
And once I have a review posted, the title will link directly to the review!
Wish me luck! :)
