📚 Where is everyone finding their reading challenges for 2018? I see so many interesting challenges referenced in posts, and I'd love to be able to join in on a few! 📚

Chelleo Follow @LitsyHappenings to catch all the updates about various challenges and swaps. 6y
Bkwurm @Chelleo Thank you! Done. ✅ 6y
Chelleo A few are: #MountTBRchallenge #LitsyAtoZ #LitsyByTheNumbers #ReadHarder #PopSugar #photochallenge #readingbingo #litsyreadingchallenge2018 #poetrychallenge2018 There‘s a seasonal Litsy challenge and I can‘t remember the hashtag. I‘ll find it though. (edited) 6y

Bkwurm @Chelleo great! I'm doing #readharder, but see so many other interesting looking ones. I'll check out the few you mentioned. 🤓 6y
Chelleo @Bkwurm many of them can be done simultaneously since they overlap. 6y
SleepyDragon Can someone tell me what the rules are for #MountTBRchallenge? I can't find it. 6y
Cinfhen Thanks for the mention @TheKidUpstairs 🙂here‘s the link for #booked2018 If you feel like joining in.... Details are in the sign-up link here: https://tinyurl.com/ybl7app4 6y
Bkwurm @TheKidUpstairs and @Cinfhen thanks for the further suggestions and links. I'm stoked to have so many new challenges to check out and communities to become a part of! 💗 6y
Bkwurm @NeesyBeth I'll look around and let you know if I can find that particular one. Sounds hard core! 6y
SleepyDragon @Bkwurm - I appreciate it. When I clicked on the hashtag, I saw a whole lot of people posting lists, but there was so much variation that I couldn't get a sense of what the goal was specifically supposed to be. I couldn't find the original post explaining it, but there were too many posts to shift through in the little time I had earlier. I think the general idea is to make a dent in your TBR. Maybe ... 6y
DivaDiane @NeesyBeth @Bkwurm The #MountTBRchallenge is only as hard core as you want it to be. The books must be in your possession (whether owned or library books) for at least a month. The longer they‘ve waited the better! The idea is to “shop” for your next read from your own shelves/Kindle/Audible queue. Use the above hash tag! We‘ve posted our goal for the challenge, some have posted actual lists, also the book that‘s been waiting the longest. 6y
DivaDiane @NeesyBeth @Bkwurm Otherwise, no sign up. You can also stipulate a reward of a new book for every x TBRs you‘ve read. 😊Welcome! 6y
SleepyDragon @DivaDiane thanks for the info! 6y
Bkwurm @DivaDiane that sounds fantastic! I could definitely use an excuse to "shop" in my own library and whittle down my TBR mountain. #MountTBRchallenge 6y
melyndarae I looked around and found a few lists. Ultimately, I made my own list though. I took some ideas I liked and added them or changed them a bit and added some of my own. My hubs, daughter, and I are all doing. The library will be our friend and save the bank the account lol. 6y
GatheringBooks do join our #LitWorld2018GB challenge - lots of book prizes, open internationally. :) 6y
Bkwurm @GatheringBooks thank you for the link and the invitation. I think I may just join in. 😊 6y
Bkwurm @melyndarae yes, making a list on my own is always a good option, but I thought it might be fun to join in some of these challenges with others. 🤓 6y
melyndarae @Bkwurm I had made the decision begore joining this amazing and wonderful app. Lol. Next time I will definitely join one with others on here. 6y
Bkwurm @melyndarae I look forward to following you and talking books! 6y
melyndarae @Bkwurm Same here! 6y
