Wild Goose Chase 2017

This challenge is hosted by The Bookshelf Gargoyle and I’m going to give it a try because I want to do more category challenges this year. The Challenge will run from January 1st to December 31, 2017. Challengees must read at least one book from each category (listed below).  Challengees must read a DIFFERENT book for each category – even if your book title might fit a number of categories, it will only count towards a single category.  Challengees are free to choose which category best suits. The categories listed are a loose guide and creative interpretation of the categories is not only encouraged, but applauded. [Read more…] about Wild Goose Chase Reading Challenge 2017 sign-up

2017 Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge

The Alphabet Soup Challenge is hosted by Escape with Dollycas Into A Good Book and means that by December 31, 2017 your bowls must be full of one book for each letter of the Alphabet.
Each Letter Counts As 1 Spoonful

Details: This challenge will run from January 1st, 2017 until December 31st, 2017.
The challenge is to read one book that has a title starting with every letter of the alphabet.
You can drop the A’s and The’s from the book titles. The First Main Word Needs To Be The Letter You Are Counting, Except For those pesky Q, X AND Z titles where the word that starts with the challenge letter can be anywhere in the title.
