I usually try to join a couple of reading challenges every year. This year, I found one that combines several ones here. I will give this a try but might only fulfill it partly this year. I might do some that fit in two or more categories but you never know. Looks interesting in any case.

I'm doing a couple of challenges this year, but would like to give this one a try too.
ReplyDeleteNow, that's the spirit. We can always give something a try. I am not sure whether I will have 50 different books for the list but I will see that I fill it.
DeleteHappy reading,

It's an interesting challenge... many of the categories were in the Reading Bingo 2014 which I did in December as a kind of summary of last year's reads.
ReplyDeleteApart from the perpetual challenge Read the Nobels, I signed up for two reading challenges this year: Back to the Classics Challenge 2015 and 2015 Women Challenge. A Japanese Literature Challenge may follow later provided that Bellezza Mjs will host it again...
Thank you, Edith, your challenges look highly interesting, as well. I would love to do them all, especially the first two (well, I already contribute to the Nobel site, as well, I think that's where we "met") but I really think I should stop with doing any more. I have not read that many books this year, yet, mainly due to the fact that they all seem to have about 900-1,000 pages each. So, I will keep this in mind for 2016. Thank you so much.
DeleteHave a good day,
Marianne
