35559 Nothing But Reading Challenges
The Shakespearian Challenge
Duration:
6/21/2019 - Til Done!

Progress: 0 out of 62

I have always wanted to read all of Shakespeare's plays, but never have. So I have decided to challenge all you brilliant readers out there who have ever been tempted to read all of Shakespeare's works as well. In honor of the fact that his works appear to be classics and timeless in their themes this challenge will have no time limits. Just record as you go with no pressure to read them by some set date.

The following list was gotten from Wikipedia. Let me know if anyone sees any errors or knows if any are difficult to obtain. I'm thinking the ones under the heading 'Lost Plays' will be unobtainable, but I listed them anyway. Also, I've included his sonnets, poems and apocryphas. I'll leave it up to you to decide if you'll read just Shakespeare's plays or everything you can get your hands on.


Comedies
All's Well That Ends Well
As You Like It
The Comedy of Errors
Love's Labour's Lost
Measure for Measure‡
The Merchant of Venice
The Merry Wives of Windsor
A Midsummer Night's Dream
Much Ado About Nothing
Pericles, Prince of Tyre

Poems
Shakespeare's sonnets
Venus and Adonis
The Rape of Lucrece
The Passionate Pilgrim[nb 5]
The Phoenix and the Turtle
A Lover's Complaint

Apocrypha - from the definition of this term I'm guessing these works are questionable as to whether they are works of Shakespeare? I'll you to decide if you'll read them.
Arden of Faversham
The Birth of Merlin

He Said, She Said; He Wrote, She Wrote Reading Challenge
Duration:
8/1/2020 - 7/31/2021

Progress: 0 out of 25
Novice - Read up to 10 books
Amateur - Read 11 - 17 books
Freelance - Read 18 - 24 books
Professional - 25 or more books

This challenge lasts for 1 year from the date you start

"I was wondering if we could do a 'Female Author Challenge' (but with a wittier title). So many of the books published and written have male authors, so I think this would be a good way to push people outside of their comfort zones and give female authors the recognition it deserves."

What we, the moderators, noticed is that many of us have the exact opposite problem from Tia, we read mostly books written by female authors. So we decided to make this a Ying Yang type of challenge.

So, with that said, look at your book shelves and determine which you read more of--books written by male authors or books written by female authors--and try to set yourself a goal to read more of the ones you are significantly lacking in.


--> Books with page counts of over 100 pages
--> Re-Reads do not count for this challenge
--> Any readable format counts (paper, digital, audio)
--> Picture books not allowed, MG allowed if YA is also listed
--> No Graphic Novels / Manga allowed

35559 Nothing But Reading Challenges
Build-A-Body Challenge
Duration:
8/1/2020 - 7/31/2021

Progress: 0 out of ?
The Bare Bones: 10 - 15 books
Eyes and Ears: 15 - 20 books
Shoulder to the Wheel: 20 - 25 books
Head and Shoulders Above: 25+ books

This challenge lasts for 1 year from the date you start

The purpose of this challenge is to build a body through book covers. You'll do so by finding book covers that feature specific body parts and collecting them until you've come up with a complete body.

You can make this challenge as easy or as challenging as you wish, depending on how many body parts you want to use. For instance, if you wanted to make this as hard as possible, you may want to look for two separate eyes, a mouth, a head, hair, a torso, a shoulder, a neck, a back, legs, two hands, arms, and feet (or even a nose and ears if you can find them). If you want something a bit easier, however, you can look for just a head, torso, arms, and legs. The point is, it's all up to you! You're the builder.

Look for book covers predominantly featuring the body parts you're after. For instance, the cover for Bitter Night below has arms on it, but they don't draw your eyes the way the arms on Leaving Paradise's cover do. Also, remember that all of the body parts below are optional. Mix & match, pick & choose, but remember to be creative and have fun.

Options:
- Use this challenge to create your perfect man or perfect woman, or even to create your own ideal body.
- Take it a step further by dressing your body in the perfect outfit. You can search for covers with articles of clothing you'd like your body to wear.
- Want to name your body? Go ahead! Come up with a fun and unique name and tell us why you chose it.
- If you want an extra challenge, try to find two eyes, hands, feet, arms, shoulders, and legs. You can even look for a right & left of each!

Series Slayer Challenge
Duration:
6/21/2019 -

Progress: Goal = 100 Points
Book Points:
Series Points:

This is a challenge for two kinds of people: Those who want to read more series than they currently are, and those who have a bunch of series in-progress and want to reduce those by completing them and/or deciding officially not to continue.

Base Rules:
1. Read books that are from series.
2. For each book that is from a series that you finish, earn 1 book point.
3. For each series you finish (if the series is not complete, reading up to the latest published book counts), earn 1 series point.
4. (Optional) You may set a 'goal' number of book points, series points, or both. Like Goodreads challenges, you can change this later, if it seems too high or too low.
5. (Optional) Once you reach your goal points, your challenge is 'complete'.

Extended Rules for those who want to reduce their number of series in-progress:

Fill In the Gaps Project
Duration:
6/21/2019 - 6/20/2024

Progress: 0 out of 100

Time Length: This is a 5 Year reading challenge.

No. of books to read: 100

Details: Pick 100 classics or popular books you have missed over the years. You can get great ideas from established lists and awards, your own tbr list, and the books you own. Commit to reading all 100 of these books by the time 5 years is up. Original challenge - give yourself a 25% margin. Basically, if you finish 75 books on your list you should feel victorious.

Variations (I thought these up, but I'm probably not the first one :)):
- for each year make a goal of how many books you want to knock of the list (if you read 20 books each year you can complete this within the 5-year time frame)
- make your list genre specific (ex. YA, fantasy, sci-fi, etc.)...there's classics and popular books in every genre
- make it more challenging by counting all books in a series as one entry
- if you can't think of 100 right from the start, just leave the last ones blank...then if a year from now you've missed some more really big popular books or find more classics you can add them in

Sometimes mistaken as being a bitch for using her authority, but she just knows how to handle people and will not be pushed around. Needs someone not intimidated by her brain or her authority and can give as good as they take.

Rich Girl Heroine -
Rich and smart and a little spoiled, but has a good heart. Needs someone who'll appreciate her for her and not her money.

Thought to be too old to ever marry, but possesses hidden passion and is too smart to settle for anything less than she deserves. She needs someone that has it all.

Woman Warrior/Kick-Butt Heroine -
Tough, self-sufficient, uncompromising and needs someone that won't change her and accepts her the way she is -faults & all.

Minx/She-Devil Heroine -
Mischievous, feisty, and self-thinking. Will give a person a run for their money and will be well worth it.

Girl Next Door Heroine -
She's pretty, smart, sweet, wholesome, but somewhat naïve. Most likely to fall for the boy next store.

Paranormal Heroine -
Strong, self-sufficient, and dangerous woman who won't put up with cr@p. Needs a person who can handle her and not be intimidated. Can be a witch, vampire, shape-shifter, etc.
