Deblovestoread Yay! This is one challenge i can commit to 😁 2d
AllDebooks I loved #192025 challenge. It's such a fun way to choose titles. I lost my way a bit over the last year. I'll move my planned reads onto the new challenge and start again. 😍 2d
dabbe Yay! Thanks for including me on this! 🩶🧡🤎 2d
RaeLovesToRead Me: I am doing enough reading challenges already. Also me: 👀 2d
mabell I‘m excited! Thank you! 2d
Gissy It sounds so good. I need a journal to write what I want to read and maybe we can see what others choose? Just to have recommendations 😃 2d
Librarybelle @RaeLovesToRead 😂 You‘re more than welcome to join or think about it! 2d
Librarybelle @Gissy A journal is a good idea! I also have a spreadsheet I update semi annually with my titles from the #192025 challenge. There are some participants who post what they plan to read or what they have read, which is a good way for recommendations. I also hashtag the year on my posts for the challenge, so you can search a year‘s hashtag on Litsy to see what has been read. But yes, any way for recommendations is good! 2d
thebacklistbook I swear I am signed up for too many challenges now including this one! 2d
MaGoose Please add/tag me. 2d

All are welcome to join in. No topics are off the table. This is a safe place to share your thoughts, feelings, plans, and experiences. Just as you would with a friend in the real world.

Wishing you all a fab weekend. 🌞

kspenmoll I am here with my coffee. Planning to meet up with my best friend from HS this morning. I am soooo excited to see my soul sister, to walk & talk. Happy Saturday all! 7d
AllDebooks @kspenmoll this is so lovely. Have a great catch-up. X 7d

Librarybelle I‘m going to the library later today too, @AllDebooks ! Next week starts my temp work at the library of my undergrad days, so lots to do to prep not being home all the time. I also realized I never posted about October‘s #LiteraryCrew book, need to finish the Agatha Christie for discussion tomorrow, and finalize the #192030 to post on Storygraph on Wednesday. Whew! I‘m going to be busy this weekend. 😂 7d
Librarybelle Enjoy your day, @kspenmoll ! 7d
Bookwormjillk @kspenmoll that sounds perfect! Enjoy! @Librarybelle @AllDebooks the library is one of my stops today too. I have to stop by the thrift store since the kids need costumes for spirit week at BBC school next week too. So errands, but fun ones. Then tonight I‘m going to put up some Halloween decorations. 7d
Bookperson96 Enjoy your time together @kspenmoll . 6d

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, ...

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! 3w
Bookwormjillk A little scary to be joining a challenge that ends after my youngest graduates high school but I‘m in! 3w

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 😀 3w
Librarybelle @Bookwormjillk It is so hard to believe that 2030 isn‘t really that far away! 3w
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! 🖤🤍🖤 3w
Librarybelle @Deblovestoread I probably won‘t finish either, but I have high hopes for #192030 ! 😂 3w
Librarybelle Sounds great, @dabbe ! I have a shelf of golden crime novels that would work perfectly! 3w
mabell Thanks you! Looking forward to checking off more boxes! 3w
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 🤣 3w
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. 😄 3w
Librarybelle Oh my, @Gissy ! 😂 Let‘s hope we‘re all around or else ghosts reading! 3w
Librarybelle @Amiable 😂 Clean slate starting in January! 3w
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) 3w
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. 3w
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. 3w
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 😆 3w
Librarybelle @BarbaraJean It is comforting, isn‘t it? I feel the same way! 3w
Mollyanna Looking forward to this! I‘ve got a bunch of old paperbacks that this should take off my shelves. 😊 3w
Librarybelle That‘s great, @Mollyanna ! 3w
Read4life Can you add me please? 3w
llwheeler Yay! Looking forward to it 3w
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. 2w
triplem80 I'm intrigued...please add me! 2w
AnneCecilie Please add me to the tag list. I‘ve really enjoyed the one we‘re doing now 2w
TheBookHippie Yay! I just finished the last one! Terrible about posting! I‘ll do better 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️😩 (edited) 2w
BarkingMadRead Ohhhh this is so cool! I‘m in!! 2w
Kitta Oh so cool, I‘m in! 2w
Maggie4483 I‘m in! Since I‘m failing miserably at #192025, I‘m eager for a chance for redemption! 2w
Lizpixie I‘ll give it a try! Hopefully it‘ll help keep my #bookslumpitis at bay! 2w
Librarybelle I hope so, @Lizpixie ! 2w
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! 2w
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. 2w
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. 2w
Librarybelle Yay, @Kelly_the_Bookish_Sidekick ! And congrats on being close to finishing #192025 ! 2w
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!!! 1w
Librarybelle Yay, @TheAromaofBooks ! That is incredible!!! 1w

I cannot believe that this is the last six months for #192025 !

For the first half of 2025, I managed to read 4 more titles. I am determined to get as close to finishing as possible.

And for those interested, I will post the official announcement for #192030 , set to begin in January 2026 and run through December 31, 2030. Much like this current challenge, read one book originally published for each year, 1920-2030. ⬇️

Librarybelle If you would like me to tag you in the reminders, such as the official post and when the challenge is added to Storygraph and goes live, let me know. 3mo
Mollyanna Please add me to your list. This sounds fun! 3mo
mabell I would like to be on the list! I have quite a few reviews to add to Litsy, but probably not checking off many more years. 😆 It‘s been lots of fun to see how many I got! Thank you for doing it! 3mo

BarbaraJean I have 25 more titles to go... hoping I'm not deluding myself that I'll be able to stay on track to finish by the end of the year. If somebody would just ground me from spontaneous library holds and new buddy reads, I'd probably be fine 😂 Please add me for the next one! 3mo
Bookwormjillk I am super interested! Almost done with #192025 just missing a few chunks. 3mo
Librarybelle I‘m so glad you‘re interested in the next round, @Mollyanna @mabell @BarbaraJean ! I‘ll tag you when I post the official info in a couple of weeks and when I post the challenge on Storygraph (I‘m aiming for October 1st). 3mo
Librarybelle Yay, @Bookwormjillk ! I‘ll add your name to the list! 3mo
Amiable Me! 🙋🏻‍♀️ I have been plodding along on the list and will not finish by next year — but Hope springs eternal for the next one! 😀 3mo
Librarybelle Terrific, @Amiable ! I‘ll add your name to the list! 3mo
Bookwormjillk I just looked and I have 26 left (but am in the middle of The Bean Trees 1988 now). 3mo
Librarybelle @Bookwormjillk Yay!! You can do it! 3mo
llwheeler Please add me too! 3mo
Librarybelle @llwheeler Hooray! I‘ll add your name to the list! 3mo
Suet624 Please add me!! 2mo
Librarybelle Will do, @Suet624 ! 2mo

I finally took the time to tally my #192025 titles read during the second half of 2024. I managed 8 titles…thank goodness for book discussions!

I still have a number of years to read by the end of the year; if I do not quite make the whole list, this has been such a fun challenge all the same. I plan to start it again in 2026 with #192030 …details later this year!

I completed the 2000s decade and am nearly finished with two more decades. Yay!

julieclair Ooohhh… I need to tally mine. 🫣 So glad you‘re going to start again in 2026! I really enjoy this challenge. 💙 8mo
Librarybelle Thanks, @julieclair …I think it‘s so fun! Glad you‘re enjoying it too! 8mo
Bookwormjillk 2026 still sounds so in the future 😂 8mo

Librarybelle It really does, @Bookwormjillk ! 😂 8mo
BarbaraBB You‘re doing great! I used to read so many classics but since joining Litsy I have switched almost completely to contemporary fiction. 8mo
Librarybelle Thanks, @BarbaraBB ! I think my reading has broadened even more thanks to Litsy. This past year I was able to read more contemporary fiction, or at least books published within the last couple of years, than I did when I worked in the library. Odd, but true. Keep reading the contemporary fiction, and I‘m sure I‘ll keep stacking books based on your reviews! 8mo
BarbaraBB Litsy has definitely broadened my reading too! 8mo

Help a Litten out! I'm wanting to get back into reading challenges this year but I'm having a hard time figuring out what Litsy is hosting these days. It looks like a few I used to do aren't active anymore. Are there any I should know about? (I'm planning to do #bookspin with @TheAromaofBooks and #agathachristieclubR3 with @Librarybelle, of course!)

Picture of my dog's dumb teeth for tax!

TheAromaofBooks I'm participating in - #Pantone2025 and #FourFoursin25 with @lauredhel
- #WickedWords with @AsYouWish
- #Roll100 and #GottaCatchEmAll with @PuddleJumper
- #FictionalTraveler and #ReadorDonate with @julieclair
and my own other challenges, #ISpyBingo and #BookChain

Have you checked @LitsyEvents ? That account does a great job reposting all kinds of shenanigans!!
9mo
Ruthiella You can follow @LitsyEvents for reposts of all the challenges, etc. Good luck! 😃 9mo
AmyG There is #authoramonth @soubhiville where one reads 1+ books from that specific author for the month. #TBRTarot is where a card is chosen and you pick a corresponding book. #readyourkindle is like Bookspin but just for ereaders. Last two are with @Cbee (edited) 9mo

MatchlessMarie When I have been away from Litsyland for a while I like to check out the @LitsyEvents page for most current things. But this is a great time of year to get back into them. It‘s hard to miss challenges since we are all abuzz with New Year wishful thinking 😂 9mo
TheAromaofBooks @Librarybelle - I will be so excited to tackle another long-term project!! I actually think I'm going to complete #192025 which is pretty thrilling! 9mo
Librarybelle That‘s so cool, @TheAromaofBooks ! I still have a bit to go but need to tally up my readings from the last half of 2024. I love the long term challenges! 9mo
