2017 Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge

The Alphabet Soup Challenge is hosted by Escape with Dollycas Into A Good Book and means that by December 31, 2017 your bowls must be full of one book for each letter of the Alphabet.
Each Letter Counts As 1 Spoonful

I did not pick my list ahead of time but just let it fill up naturally throughout the year. I only had to plan for a couple of letters at the end, and this was a very fun challenge! [Read more…] about 2017 Alphabet Soup Reading Challenge wrap-up

The Where are You Reading? Reading Challenge 2017 is hosted by Book Dragon’s Lair and I joined up in late January, even though I said I was done with new challenges. The goal was to read a book that takes place in each letter of the alphabet, with real or fictional locations allowed.

What’s In a Name 2017

I identified books from my TBR stacks at the beginning of the year to fulfill this challenge and in the end, I only went with two of my original ideas. Of the other four, only one was on TBR shelf, so half isn’t bad, I guess. One of the new books was read for book club.

The rules are simple-Read one book from each category during the year. [Read more…] about What’s In a Name 2017 wrap-up post

Wild Goose Chase 2017

This challenge is hosted by The Bookshelf Gargoyle and I joined to further my wish to do more category challenges this year. I got it done in the first half of the year by reading a book from each category. I list in parentheses the books I set aside from shelves in January to read for this challenge, and then after in bold what I actually ended up reading. Only two of the seven were the books I planned, but they were still from my TBR shelves, except #3 which was a borrowed book I read and gave back to the owner.
