Reading being one of my focuses for 2014 I set a goal for myself of 25 books in the year. Not an astounding goal by a true reader's measure but for me - it is doable and still a challenge.
To add a twist I will be signing up for the What's In a Name reading challenge sponsored by The Worm Hole - check it out here.
The details include:
The challenge runs from January to December. During this time you choose a book to read from each of the following categories (examples of books you could choose are in brackets):
- A reference to time (Eleven Minutes, Before Ever After)
- A position of royalty (The People’s Queen, The Last Empress, The Curse Of The Pharaoh)
- A number written in letters (The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms, A Tale Of Two Cities)
- A forename or names (Rebecca, Eleanor & Park, The Unfinished Work Of Elizabeth D.)
- A type or element of weather (Gone With The Wind, Red Earth Pouring Rain)
Sounds like fun to me!!
Here's to a good year of reading!!
Hi Teri, good to have you joining us and glad you like the blog :) I read about 70 books last year which I thought was pretty good but then saw many people saying that they'd read that many and that it wasn't much - in other words forget about how much others read :) We've all different reading speeds and time limits and if 25 would be a good count for you then that's what matters :)
