Two genres I want to read more of this year are memoirs and mysteries. When I started to make myself a pretty bingo card, I thought “let‘s make a challenge!” So, if you want to add another challenge, please come join me. The prompts are deliberately short and broad, so you can interpret as you prefer. Only rule is read from the genres.

Librarybelle Oh! I‘m terrible at following through with challenges, including my own (🙄), but I‘m very intrigued! Thanks for the tag! 4y
LindseysLibrary303 This seems like fun! At rush of sounding stupid, what‘s a POC author? 4y

BarbaraTheBibliophage @Theeclecticreader Thanks. That‘s a person of color who‘s an author. 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cinfhen Thanks sweetie! 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Librarybelle Haha. Yes, I ditched one this year. Just lost focus ... 🤪 4y
LindseysLibrary303 @BarbaraTheBibliophage Thank you! Of course now that seems obvious 🙄 4y
alisiakae I‘ll give it a go! I listen to memoirs on audiobook frequently, so this may be doable for me! 4y
TheSpineView Thanks for the tag! I'm in!📚 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft Yay!! Hopefully it‘ll be easy to double up among challenges too! 👊🏻♥️📚 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @TheSpineView Yay! Glad to have ya! Now I‘ve got to do some planning ... 4y
alisiakae I guess we can‘t start now, huh? 😂 I‘m listening to a great one for the celebrity prompt!![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)
Me 4y
MeCathythoughts Thankyou! For the tag ! I‘ve taken a screenshot & I will join in ... mystery I love ... memoir will be a challenge ... One can but try 👍🏻❤️📚 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft ooooh I‘ve been wondering how that is. Does he narrate? (And, yeah ... you can‘t count it for 2020, darn it ...) 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Cathythoughts No reason you couldn‘t do the whole thing with mysteries ... either way, it‘ll be fun to face the bingo card together! 4y
alisiakae @BarbaraTheBibliophage It's a different narrator, but he does a fantastic job. 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @4thhouseontheleft Thanks—I‘m looking forward to your full review! 4y
Megabooks I will share later today and then try to figure out if I could complete it with mostly memoirs. 😂😂 My mom pretty much only reads mysteries with the occasional historical fiction, but I only read them for challenges. I don‘t like whodunnits, but maybe I should try cozies? You‘ve certainly got me thinking, Barbara! 4y
Crazeedi I think ill add to my #booked2020! Thanks! I love both genres 4y
RedxoHearts This looks like a fun challenge for the new year! I can already think of several memoirs I've been meaning to read to fill the spots 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Crazeedi Yay!! I love them too and read entirely too few mysteries this year! 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Megabooks Thanks for sharing whenever you have time. I think each prompt works for either genre, but maybe a cozy or two would stretch your reading year a bit. It‘s up to you! 😘 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @RedxoHearts Would love to have you!! ♥️😎📚 4y
vivastory This sounds great! I'm definitely interested! 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @vivastory Yay!! Hope it works for you! 4y
vivastory Would new series be a series that I've never read, or one that is relatively recent with just 2 or 3 titles? 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @vivastory It could be either. Whichever works for you! 4y
vivastory Great. Thanks for posting this! 4y
LeahBergen This sounds fun! I‘m changing up my challenges for the upcoming year and adding a few “personally tailored” ones like yours. I‘m challenging myself to read one Persephone book per month. 😄 4y
MrsV This looks so fun! I would love to do this! Room for another? 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @LeahBergen I change my challenges up every year—except #Booked! It just has to work for me. Your Persephone one sounds good—especially when there‘s a bunch of those books on your shelf! 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @MrsV Of *course* we have room! Glad to have you! 🎉♥️📚 4y
Crazeedi @Librarybelle me too but I'm going to try my best next year! 4y
rubyslippersreads @LeahBergen This sounds good because I could read the Persephones I own and have an excuse to buy more. 😹 4y
rubyslippersreads @BarbaraTheBibliophage I agree with @MrsV and hope you have room for one more. 😊 4y
kspenmoll This looks like such fun as I enjoy both genres. Thanks Barbara! Would live to join in! (edited) 4y
ferskner Oh my gosh this sounds great! I'm going to be doing a billion challenges this year! 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @rubyslippersreads Always have room for more friends to motivate me to read! Glad you‘re joining us! ♥️ 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @kspenmoll Yay! I‘m glad you‘re joining us! ♥️ 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @ferskner Thanks—glad you‘re thinking of joining us! I always say I‘m going to limit my challenges. Then ... it always gets out of hand!🤪😘 4y
gradcat @BarbaraTheBibliophage Stupid me! I searched under the wrong tag, but here it is! I‘m joining in on this one, if you‘ll allow me, because these are probably my two favorite genres! ♥️♥️♥️ Oh, I should ask if there‘s room for one more? Say, me, for example? 😂 (edited) 4y
BookwormAHN Sounds like a fun challenge. I love mysteries and I need to read more memoirs. 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @gradcat Of COURSE you can join in! The more the merrier...especially since you tried so hard to find the #mandmchallenge2020! 👊🏻📚♥️ 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @BookwormAHN Come join us!! 😘 4y
gradcat I‘m very content now. 🥰 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @gradcat That‘s great to hear! 🤓 4y
Mdargusch I think this looks fun! I‘m in! 👍🏼 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Mdargusch Fabulous! 4y
Hazel2019 I want to join! Do I need to do anything special to sign up? 4y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Hazel2019 Yay—that‘s terrific! No sign up forms or anything. Just tag me and use the hashtag so we can all support and cheer for everyone! 4y
