So this is my first year really delving into reading challenges. It’s been pretty rewarding thus far and I had decided the best course was to only try out one this year and for that reason I immediately found one that looked fun and joined.
As I was searching for books that fit the criteria for the challenge, I always ended up turning to my to-read shelf first, scoring through the 2000+ books that have found their way into that list since 2012. I’ve wanted to demolish that number for a long time now, but I always end up distracted by another book at some point.
That’s probably why I nearly did a happy dance when I first saw this challenge. A reading goal that a bunch of people are making dedicated solely to knocking books off your to-read shelf? 🤩 Sign me up!
I’ve not really decided on a goal yet, though when I do I’ll come back and edit it in here (it’d be nice to cut my to-read shelf in half! 😂). I think, perhaps, I’ll also include books I’ve finished for the challenge in the comments on this post as well. I can’t wait!

Hi! Yeah, this challenge is pretty brilliant in my opinion. I’m excited about it.
I think a read-a-long would be brilliant!
It’s my first year doing the challenge too. I’m a Dewey Dragon. I had an idea that doing a read a long might be good motivation to. I did a 40 book challenge last yr but it didn’t work for me. This one I will do!
Yay, same team! This is my first year getting into challenges too!
That’s awesome! How many challenges are you doing? How are they going? I’m only taking part in two so far.
