With the #192025 challenge drawing to a close, it‘s time to think about #192030 challenge—read one book originally published for each year from 1920 to 2030, starting January 1st and running through 2030.
The only rule is to select a book by original publication! You can make the challenge fit your needs in other way, including different authors, genres, or fiction or nonfiction.
Tagging those who initially expressed interest! ⬇️⬇️⬇️
Librarybelle ⬆️⬆️⬆️ Please let me know if you would like to be added to the tag list. This time, unlike the last challenge, I‘ll post a semiannual check in to remind to update your records for reading and for sharing with others in the group. I‘ll also tag everyone when the form is available on StoryGraph (and StoryGraph will tell you the original pub year for a book) and when the challenge officially begins. All are welcome! 2mo

Bookwormjillk A little scary to be joining a challenge that ends after my youngest graduates high school but I‘m in! 2mo

Deblovestoread Welp, I am not going to finish #192025 by the end of the year but finishing it and this one in 4 years seems doable, right? Count me in 😀 2mo
Librarybelle @Bookwormjillk It is so hard to believe that 2030 isn‘t really that far away! 2mo
dabbe Please add me! I'd love to try this. I'm planning on rearranging my clubs and cutting down, but this one sounds like a really good way to get some actual books off the shelf! Thanks for hosting! 🖤🤍🖤 2mo
Librarybelle @Deblovestoread I probably won‘t finish either, but I have high hopes for #192030 ! 😂 2mo
Librarybelle Sounds great, @dabbe ! I have a shelf of golden crime novels that would work perfectly! 2mo
mabell Thanks you! Looking forward to checking off more boxes! 2mo
Librarybelle Yay, @mabell ! 2mo
Gissy 🙋🏽♀️Let‘s see if I will still be here or if I have to participate as a ghost👻I know..morbid me 😂Halloween is almost here 🤣 2mo
Amiable @Deblovestoread I‘m not going to finish, either! I was kinda hoping that we could reset the #192025 challenge and extend the end date a couple…10..years so I can complete it. 😄 2mo
Librarybelle Oh my, @Gissy ! 😂 Let‘s hope we‘re all around or else ghosts reading! 2mo
Librarybelle @Amiable 😂 Clean slate starting in January! 2mo
Suet624 I‘m scared. I‘ve always been tempted by this challenge, but then I just know I‘m gonna feel like I‘m under pressure. Silly, I know. (edited) 2mo
Librarybelle @Suet624 That‘s understandable. I am disappointed I won‘t finish #192025 , but I‘m also amazed by the authors I met that I would not have without this challenge. 2mo
Daisey I have considered joining the original randomly but really didn‘t want to in the middle, so I think I need to join the new one. No idea how close to finishing I‘ll actually get, but why not add another checklist? Please add me to the tag list. 2mo
BarbaraJean Please add me! I‘m 16 books away from finishing #192025 and oddly enough, the idea of starting #192030 is helping! I was hoping to use more books from my shelves, but I have several harder reads left… with a new challenge, I feel more free to swap those out for quicker reads and save the harder ones for next year 😆 2mo
Librarybelle Yay, @Daisey ! 2mo
Librarybelle @BarbaraJean It is comforting, isn‘t it? I feel the same way! 2mo
Mollyanna Looking forward to this! I‘ve got a bunch of old paperbacks that this should take off my shelves. 😊 2mo
Librarybelle That‘s great, @Mollyanna ! 2mo
Read4life Can you add me please? 2mo
llwheeler Yay! Looking forward to it 2mo
kwmg40 Please add me to the tag list! I'm not quite done my #192025 challenge yet but I only have 22 left so should be able to finish it early next year if not end of this year. 2mo
Librarybelle Of course, @Read4life @kwmg40 ! 2mo
Librarybelle @llwheeler 😁 2mo
triplem80 I'm intrigued...please add me! 2mo

BarkingMadRead Ohhhh this is so cool! I‘m in!! 2mo
Kitta Oh so cool, I‘m in! 2mo
Maggie4483 I‘m in! Since I‘m failing miserably at #192025, I‘m eager for a chance for redemption! 2mo
Librarybelle Hooray, @AnneCecilie @TheBookHippie @BarkingMadRead @Kitta @Maggie4483 ! 2mo
Lizpixie I‘ll give it a try! Hopefully it‘ll help keep my #bookslumpitis at bay! 2mo
Librarybelle I hope so, @Lizpixie ! 2mo
julieclair Yay! I‘m in! I‘m only 65% done with #192025, but I‘m enjoying it. Starting with a clean slate will be fun! 2mo
tdrosebud I'm in. Seeing this post made me aware that the #192025 is ending but I don't think I'm anywhere close to finishing. Oh well, I'll see where I'm at at the end of the year and then join the new. 2mo
Librarybelle Yay, @julieclair @tdrosebud ! 2mo
Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick I'm in! I didn't pace myself early on, so now I'm scrambling, but I am committed to finish #192025 before starting in the next one, even if it does take me a couple of months into the new year. I have 32 left to read, including a few in progress & 3 might be children's books for genre diversity. 😁 I'll just try to plan a little better for the next one. 2mo
Librarybelle Yay, @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick ! And congrats on being close to finishing #192025 ! 2mo
TheAromaofBooks YES! I definitely want in!! #192025 has actually been one of my favorite challenges and I only have TWO BOOKS LEFT so I think I'm actually going to finish by the end of the year!!! 1mo
Librarybelle Yay, @TheAromaofBooks ! That is incredible!!! 1mo
