2017 Reading Challenge Level 3: Running

Things have been crazy busy the last two weeks! I've finally had time to come up with the final level for the 2017 reading challenge.

The final level has 50 books in it. I didn't have enough room to combine the YA/Adult edition with the children's edition so they are in two separate images. 

If you start from level one and read through until the end of level three, you'll have read 80 books for the year. For level three, I broke it into a few genres to make it a little easier...or possibly trickier. I guess I'll see. I'll keep track of what I read here on the blog and on Goodreads. 

Any recommendations on books to read? 

2017 Reading Challenge: Jogging Level

2017 Reading Challenge Continued

I've finally come up with level 2 of the 2017 reading challenge. The jogging level can completed in any order you'd like. This round has an edition for children again, so your kids can participate too! 

Some of the options are similar to level one, but there are thousands of books to pick from so there shouldn't be any trouble finding a match. 

For this challenge, I'm going to be using this Pinterest board to keep track of book ideas so be sure to follow along. I am getting really excited about this challenge. 

What books are you looking forward to reading in the new year? Do you have any set goals for reading?

The 2017 Reading Challenge-Walking Edition

         I love Goodreads! It's a great way to keep track of what you've read and get recommendations on future reads. Goodreads has also helped me find Christmas and birthday presents for family members. I can't quite speak for everyone, but every book I've found for my husband has been a success. It's like Facebook for books because you can see what your friends are reading too!

     Each year, Goodreads has an option where you can say how many books you are going to read that year. I've done it this year and last year, successfully so far. However, there have been other reading challenges that I fell flat on. They tell you book descriptions to read for the challenges. I started off okay, but then I was distracted by other books and my new edition.

     This year, with all of the new things that I am trying out, I'm going to try making my own 2017 Reading Challenge! This will also include a Kids' Edition so your kids can join in as well. There will be several different levels that I will come out with. The first level:

     In order to move on to the next level, you need to read all of the books in this level...or just move on anyways, but I'm going to try and read all of the books in each level. 

     Read the books in any order you choose! The categories are:

Adult/Young Adult Edition:

1. A bestseller

2. A nonfiction book

3. A fantasy book

4. A recommendation

5. An author you've never read

6. A book you normally wouldn't read

7. A book that will either be a movie or has been a movie

8. Re-read an old favorite 

9. Read a book with a kid

10. Read a book that you've never finished

Kids' Edition:

1. A bestseller

2. An award winner

3. A picture book

4. A recommendation

5. An author you've never read

6. A book between 100-200 pages

7. A fairy tale

8. Re-read an old favorite

9. A poetry book

10. Read a book that your teacher recommends

Does anyone have books that they would like to use for this challenge?
