Welcome to Litsy!

First half of 2023 is done. Goodreads and StoryGraph don't agree on the amount of books I've read. StoryGraph doesn't count DNF books.

Anyway, lots of books read. Still, neither #MountARC nor #MountTBR have eroded in any way. I must be doing this reading thing right. 😁😁

2023 Reading Challenges.

I‘m aiming to be a little more intentional with my reading tracking this year. So I created myself a book journal. 😂

#Roll100 and #NoBuy2023 @PuddleJumper

#SeriesLove2023 @Andrew65 and @TheSpineView

#DiverseCozy2024 @sarahbellum

#WhimsicalReads @KateReadsYA

2023 here we come! 😂

I'm definitely committing to too many challenges for next year! I won't be reading all of these, and several #doubledip and some #tripledip, but this is what each one looks like at the mo!

#52bookclub2023 isn't finished yet, as not all the prompts have been released and I'm also probably going to try to do #pop2023 as well! 😂😂😂

Me trying to figure out my #roll100 and other challenges and books I just really want to read first…feeling a little overwhelmed tbh.

I'm a 100% unapologetic reading challenge addict, so my goal for #JumpStart2022 is to actually read the books that fit with January's challenges! 😂 If I can stick with them, I will make a serious dent in the unread books on my own shelves, which is one of my big goals for this year. I'm SO excited about filling in some blanks in my shiny new bujo!!!!

Thanks for hosting @Clwojick @Lizpixie !!!

I must be deep in the "between Christmas and New Year's" cycle because my mind is not working for me at all ? I want to get my 2022 challenges ready but I can't seem to remember who had what going on ?

Who has challenges coming up? You guys are all in the know, what you got for me? ?

Preparing for 2022 reading challenges.

Here‘s my progress for #theunreadshelfproject. I finally read a book for the October reading challenge but I haven‘t decided on a book for November‘s reading challenge so it looks like I will have to add on another book to my TBR because I‘m trying to catch up. I fell behind in October. I forgot about the November challenge.

Long story short, there are some answers about my problem knee, but there‘s no resolution yet. More on that later. Meanwhile, I‘m walking as much as I can tolerate, and some days that‘s more than others. ⬇️

I‘d like to read at least eight books and participate in the photo challenges as many days as possible.

Not book or fitness related, I want to discuss distribution of my tasks upon retirement, but that‘s a whole other story!

#bfc21

This year I am going to try to track my reading my goal this year is 20 books I‘m very excited to see what 2021 has to bring for reading

Got myself organised for 2021. #readingchallenge #fourfoursin21 #booked2021 #monthlykeywordGXO #monthlymotifGXO #pickyourpoison

Signing on up for #booked2021, along with my own challenge #fourfoursin21, and mayyyybe #monthlykeywordgxo and #monthlymotifgxo too

I like reading challenges, ok??

The seasons don't match with ours so I'll need to figure out whether to do what I did last year (start with summer), or just pretend it's winter!

The first two prompts are a complete gimme, being an Australian SF reader :)

Hey all those participating in #BBRC.

I did a little something today. I added the BBRC to The Story Graph. If you haven't looked at The Story Graph yet, it's like Goodreads, but I like it more.

Plus it makes it easy to join and log challenges. Much easier than trying to find old emails and log ins to Google docs.

Our challenge is here: https://beta.thestorygraph.com/reading_challenges/5ed0bcc4-88a3-4b41-a8ed-74056b...

Any ?s just ask.

Signed up! #ReadingAsia2021

So with us staying in, I reckon there's no better time to move into a new reading journal. Not filled out yet but finished at least. Heres my new spread for #LitsyAtoZ2020 with @BookishMarginalia

Oops! I tripped and fell on yet another 2020 reading challenge. #litsyatoz #atoz #litsyatoz2020

My blog has been falling by the wayside with two little kids to chase around, so I decided to keep track of my personal reading challenges in my bullet journal for the first time. I had fun setting up these pages. Now I just need to remember to keep them updated! 😀

Oh yeah this happened today! And since I'm in the middle of 13 (😵) books, I'll fit in several more before the month is over. It's been a good reading year!

I did the thing! No, I did ALL THE THINGS. With Her Body and Other Parties, I finished the #readingwomen2019 #readingwomen challenge. This joins #aussiesrule2019 and #readharder2019 #readharder on my completed challenges for 2019! And I'm on track to meet my Goodreads Challenge - currently 4 books ahead.
