The 2019 Annual Reading Challenge List Thread
![]() ![]() Welcome to our 10th Annual Reading Challenge! The Annual Reading Challenge is neither a race, contest, nor an “exclusive club”, anyone can join! This is just a fun activity that some of us have enjoyed doing in the past. Many of us have found reading challenges to be an entertaining way to set goals for ourselves, get ideas for books, and see what others are reading. This thread is for you to keep a running tally for your chosen challenge. Please state your goals at the top of your post (in the title line if you can), and then start your list in the body of your post. As you read books, edit your post to update your list of books read, or other challenge status. Please Remember: No discussion posts in this thread. Please use the other thread for that. Non-List posts will be deleted or moved to the other thread. Discussions & Ideas can be found here: Post #2 of this thread is dedicated to a Table of Contents for all participants in this thread. Names will be added, to this TOC, in alphabetical order with a link to that individual’s post number from this thread. Previous threads were for 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011 and 2010 Last edited by pdurrant; 12-10-2018 at 03:15 PM. |

Ancient history, recent Germany, doorstoppers and more
I've made a major change in my goals. Fortunately, a topic tugged at me in time for me to shift. Six books in ancient history, six books in German history from 1918 - 1945, with ancillary books I'll also track. I'll read two of the colossal novels that have lingered on my TBR for years. And I'll get my Goodreads Want-to-Read list down to 25 titles. My hope is that limited goals can be achieved and still leave me room to follow my bent as it bends.
I set a benchmark for total books each year of 120. I don't consider it a goal. I'm linking to my Goodreads pages because I'm lazy.
Ah, I see several have mentioned the New Leaf Book Club. I read all the selections last year and my goal this year is to do the same. Last edited by issybird; 01-27-2019 at 07:58 PM. Reason: Major change! |

Goal: 120 books / 10 book club books
The goal this year is similar to last year's, 120 books read (or abandoned), with a stretch goal of 160 books. This includes audio books. Individual short stories will be recorded, but not counted towards that goal until I've got several I can combine. Longer "short" works (~100 pages or so) will be counted as a full book, though if I have two of them back to back, I'll tend to count them as a single book.
Secondary goal is to update this list no less often than once a week. I managed that until the summer last year, but then that completely fell apart for a bit, before I got it back on track. It's really easy to lose track or get so far behind that one abandons the attempt. One trick is to update my "Reason for Editing" each time to show the last book(s) purchased and recorded. This helps me keep track even if it's been a few days since the last edit. This year, a new tertiary goal -- to read at least 10 of the 12 books in the New Leaf Book Club and actively participate in the discussion. Code:

Goal: 75 books.
This year I want to read 75 books, including 5 non-fiction titles and 3 or more from outside my usual preferences. Try things I normally would avoid, like sports or politics or trashy M/F romances. I'd also like to finish off a series from my huge TBR pile, then some poetry or comics. Been ages since I've read those.
And finally, I really need to read more Lesbian novels. Because as much as I love M/M, especially paranormal mysteries, a steady diet makes me wonder if I've been letting down the side. Last edited by pdurrant; 12-18-2018 at 03:18 AM. Reason: Moved goal to title. |
