Usually I am not one to participate in reading challenges. The only ones I really participate in are the Semi-Charmed book challenges that Megan hosts each season. However, this year I am trying to broaden my horizons a bit with reading. Through the Semi-Charmed challenges I have been able to read many books that I otherwise probably would not have picked up - I've ended up enjoying most of them. So, this year I will be participating in a few reading challenges. I already mentioned the pinterest reading challenge which is going to be the one I focus on most this year, but here are a few others I've decided to participate in.
50 States: I've seen this all over Pinterest and actually started this last year. This year I want to read a book from the remaining states. I have read 10, so I need to read 40 this year. This is one that I'm not that worried about finishing this year but I would like to get at least half way through.
Reading England 2015: This challenge is similar to the 50 states reading challenge, but involves the counties of England. This challenges readers to read one book from each county in England. I am aiming for Level 2: 4-6 Counties
2015 TBR Pile: This challenge challenges readers to read 12 books from their TBR list. These books must have been on that list for at least 1 year (so no new books). I am hoping to read 12 books to complete this challenge 100%.
European Reading Challenge 2015: This challenges readers to read books that fall in the list of 50 sovereign states in Europe. I hope to get to at least Level 5: 5 Books, but I will probably (hopefully) surpass that!
2015 Southern Literature Reading Challenge: This challenges readers to read books by southerners that take place in the south. The host has listed the states that count as southern in this challenge. I hope to reach Level 4: 7-8 books.
