So I have to be honest and admit that my challenges kind of fell by the wayside in 2018. I did much better of tracking them in 2017 so I'm hoping in the upcoming year, I'll get back on track. I didn't anticipate participating in so many but Tammy shared a comprehensive list on Twitter last week and I was sunk. So I'm going to mention all the year-long ones in this post with links to the original blog post. Who knows, maybe you'll be convinced to join in too.
GOODREADS
So this year I'm just going to strive for 110 again. I feel a tad bit short last year but I also didn't track it was well as I should have.
CLOAK & DAGGER
So Stormi and I co-host this one and I know I met last year's goal. You can check out the post HERE. I'm setting my goal as INSPECTOR this year.
WHAT AN ANIMAL 2019
This is hosted by Socrates Book Reviews and I've participated the past three years. I always find this one pretty easy. You can find all the details HERE. I'm going for LEVEL 4 (21 or more books).
LIBRARY LOVERS 2019
This challenge is hosted by Angel's Guilty Pleasures. I love using my local libraries so why join in on this one. The details are HERE. I am aiming to reach THRIFTY READER and read at least 24 library books.
DANCING WITH FANTASY AND SCIENCE FICTION
This is a new one for me and I can totally blame LaLa. It's hosted by Annemieke and she put so much work into it. HERE are the details and you can do all three sections, just one or just two. I am going with the FANTASY section. I can see this one giving me trouble so wish me luck! Here is the BINGO card because it's easier to see what the challenges are.
So there you have it. Yes, I'm apparently a glutton for punishment. I'm also hosting the 2nd Annual They Call It Puppy Love Challenge in February and participating in COYER as always. Oh and I can't forget Dog Days of Summer and the Summer Comment Challenge.
Good luck with your challenges! I'm not doing any this year but if I did I would totally do Cloak and Dagger because I read a ton of thrillers and suspense last year! Or this year rather haha getting ahead of myself. Also Annemieke's challenge looks like a blast too!
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for a good challenge.
DeleteI JUST joined Goodreads, like a week ago. I'll have to look into how their challenges work. I'm excited about 2019 reading! I'm super impressed with the number of books you read, wow!
ReplyDeleteIt's pretty easy to just set a goal for how many you want to read for a year. I sent you a friend request.
DeleteI am really bad at keeping up with challenges, but every year around this time I get excited anyway😁 I'm still debating whether to "officially" join some challenges or not (other than Goodreads)
ReplyDeleteI did good keeping track in 2017. 2018 just didn't make it :)
DeleteI don;t have to say this because you always do so well with challenges... but I love saying it.. .GOOD LUCK BARB! I hope 2019 is the best bookish year ever!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much!
DeleteI'm looking forward to getting my challenges started and seeing what everyone else is doing!
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun time of year in the blogging world.
DeleteThat's a lot of challenges. Good luck! I'm probably sticking to just two next year...although I'm really intrigued by that fantasy bingo card. I really love bookish bingo! :)
ReplyDeleteAt least they overlap some.
DeleteWahoo!! Good luck with your challenges in 2019! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Erica.
DeleteI need to share the challenges I'm doing too. I'll probably stay with the same ones unless I come across another that really grabs me. I can't wait for Puppy Love! I have a bunch of books.
ReplyDeleteYAY! I can't wait to see what you have planned for February!
DeleteWow, you have a good number of challenges planned! Best of luck! I haven't really started thinking about mine yet, I need to in the next few days.
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
I'm sure you'll read lots of great books no matter what you decide.
DeleteGood luck with your challenges! I'm participating in four next year: Beat the Backlist, Audiobook, Discussion, and Goodreads. Hopefully I can keep up with everything!
ReplyDeleteLindsi @ Do You Dog-ear? 💬
Beat the Backlist is one I considered. Good luck and I can't wait to see what you read.
DeleteHaha good luck with all your challenges! :D
ReplyDeleteNice work, looks like some interesting challenges. I will be posting mine tomorrow!

I'll have to check them out.
DeleteI'm with Tammy, I love the look of the challenges and I get all excited but when it comes down to it I just don't seem to keep up with them.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with all your choices for 2019
Lynn :D
Thanks Lynn.
DeleteWelcome to the What An Animal Reading Challenge. Good luck with all of your challenges!
ReplyDeleteYours is always the easiest for me :)
DeleteI'm so happy you are joining Annemieke's challenge! 🎉
ReplyDeleteI have asked if Hoopla books count towards the Library Love Challenge. I hope they do because I would love to join that one. 👍✨
Good luck. 🏆
