I finally took the time to tally my #192025 titles read during the second half of 2024. I managed 8 titles…thank goodness for book discussions!

I still have a number of years to read by the end of the year; if I do not quite make the whole list, this has been such a fun challenge all the same. I plan to start it again in 2026 with #192030 …details later this year!

I completed the 2000s decade and am nearly finished with two more decades. Yay!

julieclair Ooohhh… I need to tally mine. 🫣 So glad you‘re going to start again in 2026! I really enjoy this challenge. 💙 1d

Librarybelle Thanks, @julieclair …I think it‘s so fun! Glad you‘re enjoying it too! 1d

Bookwormjillk 2026 still sounds so in the future 😂 1d

Librarybelle It really does, @Bookwormjillk ! 😂 1d

BarbaraBB You‘re doing great! I used to read so many classics but since joining Litsy I have switched almost completely to contemporary fiction. 22h

Librarybelle Thanks, @BarbaraBB ! I think my reading has broadened even more thanks to Litsy. This past year I was able to read more contemporary fiction, or at least books published within the last couple of years, than I did when I worked in the library. Odd, but true. Keep reading the contemporary fiction, and I‘m sure I‘ll keep stacking books based on your reviews! 16h

BarbaraBB Litsy has definitely broadened my reading too! 10h

The Ultimate Reading Challenge: Complete a Goal, Open an Envelope, and Reveal Your Bookish Prize! | Weldon Owen

Help a Litten out! I'm wanting to get back into reading challenges this year but I'm having a hard time figuring out what Litsy is hosting these days. It looks like a few I used to do aren't active anymore. Are there any I should know about? (I'm planning to do #bookspin with @TheAromaofBooks and #agathachristieclubR3 with @Librarybelle, of course!)

Picture of my dog's dumb teeth for tax!

TheAromaofBooks I'm participating in - #Pantone2025 and #FourFoursin25 with @lauredhel
- #WickedWords with @AsYouWish
- #Roll100 and #GottaCatchEmAll with @PuddleJumper
- #FictionalTraveler and #ReadorDonate with @julieclair
and my own other challenges, #ISpyBingo and #BookChain

I, Robot | Isaac Asimov

It's been a while since I've done a #192025 update. These are the slots I've filled, in the past few months. I've completed 75 of the 106 prompts!
@Librarybelle

psalva I‘m intrigued. Can you tell me more about this? I haven‘t heard about it but I‘m assuming it‘s a reading challenge. I‘d love to know what it‘s about. 4mo

Librarybelle Oh! You‘re so close! Great job! 4mo

Librarybelle @psalva The #192025 challenge encourages reading a book originally published each year from 1920 to 2025. I started it in 2022, I think, and it ends December 31, 2025. I have the challenge also on Storygraph for easy tracking. 4mo

psalva @Librarybelle Cool! It sounds like a fun challenge. 4mo

Librarybelle @psalva It has been fun, and I have plans to restart it as a #192030 challenge closer to 2026. 4mo

psalva @Librarybelle awesome! I‘ve joined up on Storygraph, although I may not get very far :) I love joining challenges anyways so we‘ll see how I get along. 4mo

kwmg40 @psalva @Librarybelle I\'m really enjoying this challenge. I made it more difficult for myself by requiring a different author for every slot, but that has led to my discovering many authors new to me and it\'s been a fun experience. I\'ll definitely be ready for another round by 2026! 4mo

Librarybelle I‘ve enjoyed this so much too, @kwmg40 ! I have used the same author for multiple years, but I‘ve still discovered new to me authors and have loved seeing the changes in writing styles over the years. Glad you found the challenge, @psalva , on Storygraph! 4mo

willaful The Native Heath is my 1954 too. :-) 4mo

Ruthiella I‘m so pleased to see both #ClassicLSFBC and #FurrowedMiddlebrowClub books displayed! It‘s a fringe benefit of both reading groups! 😅 4mo

AnishaInkspill these look interesting, I Robot is on my tbr 4mo
