Wow, it’s been an incredibly busy, yet enjoyable, start to 2016! This week I have been adjusting to a new quarter at UW, a new job at the library, and getting back into the swing of things with res life!
It’s safe to say I haven’t read very much yet (apart from audio books), but I am hoping for a very bookish 2016 full of reading and blogging! To help make my year even more bookish, I am taking on some reading challenges this year:
Goodreads 2016 Reading Challenge
I am attempting to read 75 books throughout the year!
This is my most general challenge, but I am hoping to achieve this.
6 Squared Challenge
This challenge is hosted by Amber over at Bookstacksamber!
I love this challenge because it is INCREDIBLY flexible, and so many of the books I am hoping to read this year fit into this challenge.
Official hashtag: #sixsquaredchallenge
Your challenge is to read six books from each of the six categories, for a total of 36 books by the end of 2016:
- 6 New Releases (Debut Authors)
- 6 New Releases (Loved Authors)
- 6 Books to Start a Series
- 6 Books to Complete a Series (can be different from above)
- 6 Book to Movie Adaptations
- 6 Goodreads Choice Awards Winners or Nominees
Commenting 365 Challenge
This is a challenge created by the lovely Nori over at ReadWriteLove28!
I think that this challenge is an awesome way to be more intentional about supporting other bloggers, through a super tangible way- commenting on 365 blogs this year!
Flights of Fantasy
Reading Challenge 2016
This challenge is hosted by Alexa Loves Books & Hello, Chelly!
It simply involves choosing a number of fantasy books and challenging yourself to read that many in 2016! I also love this one because of it’s flexibility, and they are also incorporating giveaways, twitter chats, and a book club! I’m excited to participate, and I am choosing to challenge myself to read 12 fantasy books in 2016.
And that’s all! I am just focusing on those few challenges this year, which will be my first full year blogging and first time participating in reading challenges!
Wish me luck!!
Are you participating in any of these challenges? What challenges are you taking on this year? comment below/link me to your 2016 goals & challenges please!
Yayyyy, thanks for participating in Six Squared! I’m doing the Comment 365 Challenge too. Good luck with all your goals 🙂
Thank YOU for hosting it! <3 I think the comment 365 challenge is going to be so fun too! Good luck to you as well!
Awesome! I’m also participating in the 365 comments challenge too! It’s fun so far!
yay! I agree!
Oh! I didn’t know Amber was hosting a challenge! I’m going to sign up!
I’m also doing Nori’s Commenting 365 Challenge, and I’ve been having a blast! I’m finally getting to so many bloggers who I follow on Twitter and seeing all these new-to-me blogs. I’ve also followed about 100 blogs since I’ve started the challenge. 🙂
holy crap thats a ton! how awesome. I totally understand the problem with following people on twitter but not on their actual blogs, which I am working on fixing!!
