Driven to Distraction: Recognizing and Coping with Attention Deficit Disorder from Childhood Through Adulthood | Edward M. MD Hallowell, John J. Ratey

In my search for a good 2017 TBR challenge to help me tackle my own Mount TBR, I found several options. I thought I would share them with you here & in the comments in case you see anything you like. (Side note: This book is actually pretty good.) I decided to do the #TBRChallenge from Super Librarian. There is community commentary on 3rd Wednesdays + optional themes. http://wendythesuperlibrarian.blogspot.com/p/tbr-challenge-2017.html

Ellsbeth Do you know of any other good TBR challenges? 8y

The_Literary_Jedi There's @BookishMarginalia #LitsyAtoZ challenge, the @bookriot Read Harder Challenge, @katytastic of @booksplosion has/had a good one too (BookTube) as did several other BookTubers 😃 8y

Ellsbeth @The_Literary_Jedi Those are good ones. I plan on doing #LitsyAtoZ & #ReadHarder. I'll look into the BookTube options. Thanks! 8y

8little_paws Are these all blog based? I don't blog. Are any of them hosted here as well? 8y

Merethebookgal The podcast I cohost on has a new reading challenge called the Mad Lib Reading Challenge where the titles of books you read are used in a Mad Lib story we created and it's going to be a lot of fun! Check out the hashtag #ERMadlibs and our Litsy page @EclecticReaders for more info! 8y

sprainedbrain Thanks for sharing these - they look interesting and fun. I'm doing #LitsyAtoZ, #ReadHarder, #ERMadLibs, and #LitsyReadingChallenge this year. Almost all of the books I have chosen for these are books I already own. 👍 8y

Ellsbeth @8little_paws None of the specifically TBR challenges I found are directly hosted on Litsy. However, most say to use any social media platform you want (blogs, Goodreads, Twitter, etc.) The issue comes if you need to link to your reviews as a requirement for participation, since you can't link to @Litsy posts or profiles. For those, I'll link to something else but mostly use Litsy with the right hashtag. 8y

Ellsbeth @Merethebookgal Thanks! I'll check that out! I did listen to the Blankets episode you recommended, as well as a few others. I enjoyed the episodes. 8y

Ellsbeth @sprainedbrain It's my pleasure. I thought if I was looking for TBR specific challenges, someone else might be as well. I am trying to do as much of the challenges I can with what is already on my shelves! 8y

APLitlife #litsyAtoZ is the one I am doing. Hosted by @BookishMarginalia 8y

Merethebookgal @Ellsbeth I'm glad you liked the episodes and hope you'll play Mad Libs along with us! 8y
