Here‘s a pic of my roll for the #DiceyDalliance challenge. I think that, next time, I may choose from only library books instead, but it‘ll still be nice to get another book off of #MountTBR.

First up for #DiceyDalliance is this book. I rolled a seven with my eight-sided die. It was only after I looked at it closer that I realized it was eight-sided. Why I only chose seven books, I don‘t know. This book doesn‘t have good reviews here on Litsy (or any reviews at all), but I‘m gonna give it a go. #UpNext

What I‘ve come to learn about myself is that, no matter how good my intentions are, I rarely stick with a reading challenge that someone else sets for me. So, I‘ve created my own seven-layered challenge. It can be done over and over again. I can try to get all seven checked off in a day or in a week. Whatever feels right. It allows for mood reading and will also help me pick up different types of books in different formats. ⬇️

slategreyskies (Cont.) I created 2 new tags for me to use, which I‘m thrilled about as well. #diceydalliance is for when I use my set of dice to help me choose what or how much to read. #superseven is for when I tackle this list, either making progress on it or hitting all 7 goals. 2w
Bookwomble I have a similar struggle with sticking to reading challenges unless they closely coincide with my mood reading. Your solution sounds good - I hope it works for you 😊 2w
MegaWhoppingCosmicBookwyrm Nice! Sounds fun. I hope you enjoy tackling your own challenges. ❤️ 2w

lil1inblue I was getting tired of some of the challenges I have done in the past, so this year I made my own, and it's somewhat similar to yours (I have prompts for each category). It's working so well for me, and I feel much more focused. 2w
Susanita Now I want 7-layer dip! 😋 2w

tpixie Great strategy! Fun!! As far as the dice, do you have all your books numbered?? On bookshelves? On Goodreads?

Hooked_on_books Sounds like a great idea! 2w
slategreyskies @Bookwomble thanks! I think it‘s got potential. I know I‘ve been reading more since giving it a go. We‘ll see if it sticks. 😊 6d
slategreyskies @lil1inblue yeah, that makes sense. I like that mine has flexibility, so I‘m not stuck with a rigid set of requirements to meet. I think this has potential. I‘m glad yours is working for you too! 6d
slategreyskies @Susanita I saw your comment shortly after you made it, and I keep thinking of seven layer dip now too. It‘s been making me laugh! 6d
slategreyskies @tpixie I‘m not 100% sure how I‘m going to use the dice yet. I don‘t have my books numbered yet, and I‘ve been trying to decide if I‘ll number a stack of them and then roll to decide which one to choose from the stack or if I‘ll number a selection of genres and then choose a book from the selected genre or something else all together. I know I like the idea of using dice, but I don‘t have the details worked out yet. 6d
tpixie @slategreyskies using dice does sound fun!! It will work out any way you choose!! You could also choose a different way each time to figure out which way you like best!! 6d
