Reading Challenges Wrap Up!

 So out with the old and in with the new!  I'm still trying to figure out my 2025 challenges but wanted to give a brief rundown of how I fared in 2024.  

WHAT AN ANIMAL CHALLENGE:

My goal going in was Level 3 which is 13-20 books.  I hit that pretty early and ended up reading 45 books with animals (real or supernatural) featured somehow.  This remains one of my faves and I'll probably do it again in 2025 but raise my goal a bit higher.  

LIBRARY LOVERS CHALLENGE:

My goal for this one was "Overdrive Junkie" which was 36 books.  I hit this one easily and read a total of 58 books I obtained from my library either on Libby or in physical form.  Just don't ask me how many I checked out and didn't return.

BANDS AND BOOKS:

This was a challenge I found which had 144 different prompts connected to music somehow (singers, songs, bands, etc.)  I knew I wouldn't hit them all but without doubling up, I did manage to knock 111 out of the way.

2024 BOOKS OF HORROR CHALLENGE:

This one came from a Facebook group I am in.  It had 24 horror related prompts and I was able to hit 20 of them.  It made me mad I didn't knock off the last 4 but I will also admit I didn't try very hard.  Can you believe I didn't read one dystopian book all year.  It was a prompt on two different challenges and I blew both of them.

2024 GOODREADS CHALLENGE:

I set a goal of 100 books and ended up reading 120.  Not too shabby and heck, I'm just glad I think I logged them all this year.

2024 KINDLE UNLIMITED CHALLENGE:

I really don't know what to call this.  Every three months, Kindle has 15 different prompts you can achieve by reading on your Kindle.  They vary from reading during certain days, finishing certain genres, and reading so many days a month or quarter.  It's the first year I really paid attention, and I ended up completing all 60 prompts.  Go me!

So there you have it.  Look for a post soon highlighting this year's challenges.  

How did you guys do with your 2024 goals?
