January 1, 2013 - December 31, 2013
Robin over at My Two Blessings asks: Are you
ready for another round of Reading 52 books in 52 Weeks? Why, yes I am. I'm once again committed to reading at least 100 books, so I think one per week should be manageable.
And she says that whether you
are just joining in or continuing on for another round, the rules are
very simple. The goal is to read one book (at least) a week for 52
weeks. Make the year easy and casual or kick it up by exploring new to
you authors and genres. Challenge yourself to read at least some
classics or delve into that chunkster (more than 500 pages) you always
wanted to tackle. The goal is to read 52 books. How you get there is up
to you.
Since this is our 5th year, she is challenging us to a 5/5/5 challenge. Read 5 books in 5 Categories and/or 5 Genres. I have several mini challenges to make it fun:
