I don’t have all that much luck with reading challenges. And that is all my fault. I get carried away! Really. I. do. I know it might be hard to believe:)
I happily join in with lots and lots of books – all the time forgetting that I read about 1 book a week. Maybe slightly more during the summer and definitely a lot less during periods like December.
Plus, I’m a slow reader. And I am a mood reader.
So I tend to do badly when it comes to reading challenges. But I love the idea of them.
So when I stumbled across the wonderful Fictionphile’s Fiction Reading Challenge I almost dismissed it. Almost. But, I think I have found THE reading challenge for me. It looks uncomplicated. It asks you to concentrate on titles you already have. And it gives you a whole year to complete it. A year. For 8 books, I should be able to do this! Right?
And it looks fun.

And I have already crossed one off the list! A book featuring a first and last name.
I was lucky enough to be part of the BLOG TOUR for the amazing – The unlikely escape of Uriah Heep by H.G. Parry. If you are interested you can check out my review – HERE
I am going to try and have a look through my huge TBR pile for some inspiration.
Good luck to everyone joining in!
Hey, just have fun with it, Jules! That’s the whole point. Good luck with this one…you’ve got this💜

Hm, I don’t think I can do it all off my TBR (or more than one title!) and that’s my plan for challenges this year, to do them from the TBR …

Good plan, I’m really hoping to read more books I’ve bought this year and not just get caught up in ARCs and blog tour books.

I have the same problems with reading challenges. I always find ones that last a weekend or a week and unfortunately I haven’t found a way to convince my boss and kids to pretend I’m invisible for a week so I can just read lol.
Definitely going to give this one a try though. Thanks for sharing.

This one sounds like fun and not quite as impossible as some of the challenges that go round! Hmm… I think I might struggle with the name of a fruit, though – can’t think of one on my TBR. Good luck, and enjoy!
