Decisions made at 3am while organizing my bookshelves: "What the hell, I'll do the #LitsyAtoZ challenge. I don't have enough on my plate." ? I'm doing the #ReadHarder challenge & #LitsyReadingChallenge, too. Also my #30in30 birthday challenge. Going to cross-use books, though.
So, in the words of Joan Didion, I'm naming 2017 #TheYearofMagicalReadingChallenges. A/k/a: how I'm going to survive the first year of a trump presidency.
LeahBergen I have to do my list still but I chose to go by title, too. And I'm also doing the Litsy Reads one. I'm thinking there will be overlap! 8y
LeahBergen Make that the #LitsyReadingChallenge. Oops! 8y
LeahBergen I've never tried #ReadHarder so I may feel the need to toss that one into the works. 😂 8y

NovelGirl82 ??? "How I'm going to survive the first year of a Trump presidency". I feel you on that! I haven't chosen any challenges to do for the new year, beyond how many books I read (which I do every year), so I may join in the AtoZ. 8y
WanderingBookaneer Is the 2017 Read Harder List out? 8y
NovelGirl82 Oh what the hell?! I'll join in on the #LitsyReadingChallenge as well! Might as well join the fun! 8y
BookishMarginalia Love the hashtag! And yes, crosspollinate the books among and between the challenges 👍🏼👏🏼 8y
jessberk13 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 8y
KarenUK Me too... going to try all those challenges too! Love the hash tag.... let's hope it is magical year of reading! 😍 8y
Theresa I'm going to do 3 of the 4 you're doing - skipping #30for30 because my #s would be quite a bit higher than 30. 😂 I want to see if it's possible to do all 3 from books I already own & with as few crossovers as possible. I wish the #ReadHarder list would come out already!! 😆 8y
Graciouswarriorprincess I am doing the same challenges except for #30for30 because I am like @Theresa. 8y
Soubhiville I was just trying to decide if I could cross use books to do multiple challenges at once, or if I should do one challenge first then start another 😊📚 I'm impressed with your list! Have fun! 8y
TheNextBook 😂😂😂 You will definitely have to cross read and there is nothing wrong with that. I need a break from challenges mext year. I'm still doing #keepingitshort and I'm challenging myself to clear the books I own that I havent read. 😏 That's going to be really hard when I'm constantly buying books. 8y
shelf-improvement Some great titles here! An amazing goal. Good luck. 📚 8y
LindsayReads YESSSSSSS TO ALL OF THIS. LET'S DO THIS. 😎 8y
RealLifeReading I just love your list! So many books there are already on my TBR!! I should make mine too 8y
Dvmheather I would never be able to stick to a plan like that. I get too distracted! 8y
Chessa Yessssss! 🙌🙌🙌 8y
DrexEdit In for a penny, in for a pound. By the end of this year I will either love or hate reading challenges! 😊 😊 👏👏👏💜 8y
Minispok Awesome list! 8y
avalonlovelee A visit from the goon squad 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 8y
Shortstack The second I saw this the Zelda book jumped to mind. I'm just debating if I want to commit to this or not. 8y
Shortstack If I do, I'm going to label my I as Infinite Jest 8y
AAdamson You're going to love A Constellation of Vital Phenomena! 8y
BookishFeminist @Shortstack You know you want to commit to this ? it'll help you push for your reading goal! And good call on Infinite Jest for "I"—I just grabbed books that are already on my shelves for this list but I'm sure there will be substitutions throughout the year as it progresses! I can't wait for our infinite jest readalong 8y
Shortstack @BookishFeminist oh, I already gave in. Also, I vote #InfiniteReadalong for our Foster-Wallace book since it reflects both the title and the length. 😂 8y
