Lately I seem to have a lot of little, short books that are
being added to my TBR. And there are also some old classics that are short that
I still haven't found time to read. So....I got to thinking....I should
challenge myself. And, so of course, I'm going to offer the challenge to you
too.
What can you read in a day? Well, that's kind of up to you
to decide. I don't want to be too rigid about this -- it's supposed to be fun.
Most of the books I've chosen are less than 200 pages. However, if it's a novel
in verse, it could be longer. Any size graphic novel will probably work. And,
if you don't make it in a day, don't beat yourself up. You can still count it
if it takes a little longer (not, of course, if it takes several days, though.)
P.S. If anyone wants to help me out with some better buttons
for this contest, feel free!
Rules:
You don't need a blog to participate. But you probably need
a Goodreads, Shelfari, or LibraryThing account. Someplace you keep track.
Audio (if you can listen in a day) and ebooks are OK.
Books must be adult, YA, or middle school books. No
children's or picture books allowed.
No re-reads, however you can count books read for this
challenge towards other challenges in which you are participating

Hmm...I did so terrible on my reading challenges this past year I'm afraid I wouldn't even be able to pull off 15 books in d day but it intrigues me. My library clerk decided last year to read a bunch of short books because boys were always coming and asking for recommendations of books that wouldn't take long to read. So I think you are on to something.
ReplyDeleteYAY, so glad you are doing this again. I really surpassed the target this year (read 94 books for this challenge) and hope to repeat it in the coming year. :D
ReplyDeleteHaven't made a sign up post yet as I've already done 2 posts today, but have scheduled it for tomorrow. :)
Thanks for hosting again.
Thanks for doing this again because I didn't get to finish with a whole bunch of stuff going on in life. Hopefully I can this time around!
ReplyDeleteImpressive, I honestly don't think I could read any of those books in less than a day. You inspire me!
