I‘ve been throwing this idea around today and thought I‘d see if any of you lovely Littens are interested! I have a HUGE Kindle backlog (in addition to a print book backlog 😂) and was considering hosting a challenge! I‘d name it #readyourkindle or something similar. You‘d make a master list and then pick at least two Kindle books to read each month. I could also potentially draw numbers like #bookspin. Not sure I‘ll do this yet but wanted to ⬇️
CBee see if anyone might be interested. Could work really well with other challenges - #bookspin et al. Shoot me a comment if this sounds like something you‘d like to do! Thanks friends 😊 ALSO! It can be Kindle, Nook, Kindle app on your iPad, whatever 😄 (edited) 3mo
TheBookHippie Yes. Me sitting on 347…. 3mo

CBee @TheBookHippie I don‘t even know what my number is 😂😂😂 3mo
JessClark78 I might be interested. My Kindle often gets neglected. 3mo
vonnie862 Ooh maybe I can try. I have both Kindle and Nook books that get neglected. I have no idea what my number is either. 3mo
Sapphire Count me in! 3mo
ncsufoxes I don‘t have a huge number but I definitely buy more than I read off of my kindle. Count me in so I can try & tackle it some 3mo
JenReadsAlot @KLyn1 and I were recently talking about how many books we have on our Kindles! Count me in! 3mo
KLyn1 Count me in - just lmk what to do, lol 3mo
Read4life I‘m in. Between Nook and Kindle I‘m sitting on over 900 unread books 😳. Geez. Maybe I shouldn‘t have looked at those numbers. 🤓 3mo
RebelReader I haven‘t read anything on my Kindle in forever. I should try to read a few. @JessClark78 mine gets neglected too 3mo
TheBookHippie @CBee I cleaned mine out over winter break 😂🥳 3mo
CarolynM Yep, I‘ve got a Kindle mountain. I‘m in🙂 3mo
audraelizabeth I just looked im at 1093 on kindle. So im in 3mo
monkeygirlsmama I'm bad about challenges, but I might give it a go. 3mo
CBee @TheBookHippie I‘m at 388! Will need to do a clean out too! 3mo
zezeki I'd be interested in this! 3mo
Crazeedi I'd definitely be interested, I have hundreds on my kindle besides hundreds on my shelves! Lol 3mo
AmyG I‘m in. I have a ton of books on my ipad. What? We should only hoard physical books? 🤣 (edited) 3mo
jackilynn I am in. I have a huge kindle backlog and this might actually give me the motivation to start chipping away at it. I am horrible at keeping up with challenges though lol 3mo
Soubhiville I think this is a great idea and might occasionally participate. I actually don‘t use my kindle very often, my weakness is physical books, but of course I do have some books on there I should eventually read! 3mo
Meshell1313 Count me in!!!! Great idea! 3mo
kspenmoll I am in too!!! 3mo
rubyslippersreads I have no idea how many unread books are on my Kindle, so I‘d be interested. 3mo
rubyslippersreads @AmyG It‘s not hoarding if it‘s books (or ebooks). 🤣 3mo
TheBookHippie @CBee I was at 597 😅😵💫👀 3mo
CBee @TheBookHippie I almost think my Kindle is lying to me because I thought there were WAY more than that 😂😂 3mo
CBee @LitsyEvents 3mo
diovival If I look, the neglected ebooks will judge me 🫣 3mo
thegreensofa I am so in! 🙋🏼♀️Yes please! 3mo
throwmeabook Count me in! 3mo
Cupcake12 Great idea 👍🏻 3mo
CBee @diovival I know the feeling 😂😂 3mo
dabbe I love it! 🤩🤩🤩 3mo
Deblovestoread I recently cleared off books I‘ve read or DNF‘d but it barely made a dent. Can‘t wait to see what you come up with 😀 3mo
Allylu I‘m in. I hardly ever read books on my Kindle, but I really should. Let me know. 3mo
Roary47 Love it! Count me in! 3mo
Hooked_on_books I could see doing this. I may have a few books lingering on my Nook. But I‘m deeply anti-Amazon, so I‘d be more likely to use #readyourebooks as a tag. Good idea, and thanks for thinking of me! 3mo
TheSpineView I think it is a great idea. I think I am up 2K+ on my Kindle and another 1K+ on my Kobo eReader. I can't seem to pass up a sale or a freebie. 3mo
CBee @Hooked_on_books we can absolutely use more than one hashtag and I think yours is perfect! 3mo
CBee @TheSpineView I‘m the same way. And Kindle Unlimited continues to add more and more books I want 🤷♀️😂 3mo
vivastory Thanks for the tag! I probably won't commit to a set number as I am only committing to two challenges this year, but I do plan on using my kindle (& kindle app) throughout the year, esp as I continue reading short stories! 3mo
The.Great.Catsby Yes! I love it and would love to join in! 3mo
CBee @vivastory sure thing 😊 3mo
E.Bolhafner Oh haha I posted maybe elsewhere. Maybe 3mo
mamareading Yes please add me 3mo
Larkken Great idea! I use #roll100 for this, actually 😂 but maybe I SHOULD read more of my kindle daily deal backlist, haha! 3mo
BarbaraBB That is a great idea but (un)fortunately I haven‘t got a Kindle! 3mo
InkedBookworm13 I am interested. Kindle unlimited has made my ebook tbr ridiculously long 😀 3mo
akfreeborn Great idea! 3mo
Amiable @Hooked_on_books Same —I don‘t own a Kindle, either. I have an iPad with the Nook app (and Libby and Hoopla apps). I also avoid Amazon— especially when it comes to purchasing books. 3mo
AllDebooks Great idea 💡 Count me in, please 🙂 3mo
kelli7990 I‘m interested. 3mo
OutsmartYourShelf I currently have over 8K books on my Kindle plus Kindle Unlimited & ebooks from the library - not sure where I‘d start with setting up a master list. I‘m happy to set a goal to read at least 2 a month from those 3 though. 3mo
RaeLovesToRead I've been reading the same book on my Kindle since September! Haha. I can't do an official challenge because I'm trying to have a clear out of physical books but I will read along and possibly use the hashtag! 3mo
andreadmw I‘d be into this definitely. I‘d say make a list and read off it. It would help me get a handle on what I actually own. With all my other challenges and book clubs I might just have to do 1 a month not 2. 3mo
youneverarrived I would definitely join in! Great idea. 3mo
MatchlessMarie I‘m interested. This would actually make me feel doubly productive if I end up reading a KU book instead of my physical TBR 😈😇 3mo
ElizaMarie I would be very interested in this. Most of my Kindle books are books that were free, but I still want to read or DNF them. 3mo
ShelleyBooksie Cool idea!! 3mo
CBee @TheAromaofBooks wanted to run this by you as it seems the simplest way to do this is to have a list each month and draw the numbers. Do you mind if I do that? It‘s very similar to #bookspin and I don‘t want to steal your idea whatsoever! I may have created a monster but I‘m up for the challenge 😂 Any tips welcome! 3mo
TheAromaofBooks Oh for sure you should go for it! I will probably play along because my Kindle is also over loaded 😂 I don't own the idea; I stole it from a random blog who had a similar challenge and @PuddleJumper also has #Roll100 with a similar theme. So I would just set the number of books you think should be on the list so people have a range to plan for and then decide when you're going to do the draw. I have a set day for mine; Jo just does her draw ⬇ 3mo
TheAromaofBooks (cont'd) sometime towards the end of the month, so you don't necessarily have to pick A DAY like BookSpin does haha Put me on your tag list and keep me posted!!! And thank you for asking ❤ ❤ ❤ 3mo
CBee @TheAromaofBooks awesome! I love how we can sort of share similar ideas 😊 I‘ll def put you on the tag list, I think I‘m going for it! 😂🤪 3mo
TheAromaofBooks All of us are here just wishing someone would tell us what to read next 😂 I know you'll find a way to give the challenge your own twist. I love seeing all the crafty ways we come up with to keep ourselves tackling the lists!!! 3mo
CBee @TheAromaofBooks truer words were never spoken 😂😂 Thanks for the encouragement! ♥️ 3mo
Laughterhp Ooh this is a good idea! My unread list on my kindle isn‘t as crazy as I thought it would be, but still pretty high! (160 unread books)! 3mo
monkeygirlsmama @rubyslippersreads 💯!!! 😁📚 3mo
kspenmoll Please add me!! 3mo
AmandaBlaze I‘m interested! I had put a lot of my Kindle books on my #Roll100 list, too. 3mo
PuddleJumper @TheAromaofBooks @CBee More chaos! It's nice being told what to read, don't have to think about it 🤣 3mo
BethM I‘d totally be in! I can‘t do 2 between other buddy reads and such, but I could probably manage 1. 3mo
Pigpen_Reads Count me in! 3mo
