You've seen them before - the challenges encouraging you to read certain books throughout the year. I was tempted to participate in one until I realized I would never finish it. There were some strange categories on there as well as things I knew I wouldn't get to. I love to read, but I can't remember the last time I read a 500+ page book. So, I decided to come up with my own and see how it turns out.
5 New Authors
This one shouldn't be too bad for me. Since I can borrow books through amazon, it won't be a major problem.
Read a book I loved in the past and haven't read for years
I have plenty to choose from for this one, but I think I know which one I'll be reading for it!
Read a book recommended by my kids
I've got two daughters, and I think it will be interesting to read something they really enjoy.
Read a nonfiction book
Wow, this one is probably going to be the hardest one for me. I don't like nonfiction, but I know there are great ones out there.
Read a book that takes place in my state
I took this one from another challenge. I'm tracking a certain one that I want to read, but I'll have to see if it'll drop in price.
And finally:
Read a classic
It's been a while since I've picked up a classic and I thought it might be neat to dust one off and see what I thought. I watch a lot of movies that are based on classics, but it'll be interesting to see what I think about reading one.
All things considered, I'm excited to start this challenge. I picked things that wouldn't be too difficult on purpose. Setting myself up for failure just wasn't something I was willing to do. If you participate in a challenge or have a New Year's resolution, I hope that you'll do well.
