When I started book blogging, i was doing tons of reading challenges, up to about 12. Then less and less. I was considering doing only the Classics Club for 2019, but then, I discovered another one I could NOT resist.
So here are my
2019 Reading Challenges
Click on the icons to know more about them.
Readalongs
I will also be doing some readalongs:
- Don Quixote, with One Catholic Life and Silvia Cachia
- Berlin Alexanderplatz, by Alfred Doblin, with NYRB Classics Goodreads Group – DNFed
- Les Misérables – this is a re-read, in French again, with one of my French students

WILL YOU BE DOING READING CHALLENGES/READALONGS
IN 2019?

with reader extraordinaire Faith Hope Cherrytea! I need modest goals, since the time for reading and blogging is much less than in some years past. Wishing you joy in all you do in the coming year!

I am just now pondering what challenges I will set for myself. One will be a book a month set in another country than my own and translated from another language.

awesome! Of all the challenges I have done in my younger years of blogging, the 52 countries challenge was my most enjoyable experience: https://wordsandpeace.com/2012/01/04/around-the-world-in-52-books/

The Classics Club sounds good to me. I know another blogger who does something like this. I only do a summer reading challenge at the library where I work. We’re all encouraged to participate and I do it because it’s fun. But I tend to feel less relaxed when I know I have to read a bunch of books, even when they are books I want to read. So I try to be more casual about it during the rest of the year, although I’m committed to 2 specific books/month for the reading groups I’m in. But reading is almost always fun, as long as there is time! Happy New Year!

it makes sense, that’s why I now have only these 2 challenges, instead of the 12 or so I used to do
