Although I am paring down my reading challenges this year to stay true to my 2018 One Little Word of LIGHTEN, I am going to repeat two of favorite challenges hosted by Bev at My Reader’s Block. She is taking over the Monthly Keyword Challenge I’ve done before, but I’m not taking the bait, mostly because having a monthly assignment adds stress to my reading with two book clubs to manage. So here are my favs:
Mount TBR Reading Challenge 2018
I’ve done this challenge every year of its existence so this will be year #7. (She miscounted and I went with her number last year). I sign up every year for Mt. Ararat and manage to wheeze to the top by December, but last year I was one book short of Kilimanjaro. I’m going to sign up for Mt. Ararat again in 2018 and see where I end up!
