2017 Reading Challenge

[Diane U]

What are your reading challenges or goals for 2017? Do you want to read a certain number of books, read books from a new genre or try a new author? Discuss here!

[Barbara]

I'm trying the 52 again this year. With the second grandbaby on the way (who will be living with us) my time may not be as abundant!

[Natalie]

I am planning to read 18 books again this year.

[Natalie]

@Diane U: I think that a 2017 Finish the Series Reading Challenge might be a great idea.

I like that idea! I've been trying to finish up some I've started.

[Carolyn]

[Marsha]

Watch for my series, THE LOVES OF SNYDER COUNTY coming soon:
Louellen Finds True Love

Valerie's Lost Love
It's a "different" kind of Amish/Mennonite series

[Ashley]

I'm planning on reading 30 books this year.

[Suzanne]

First time doing this so I will start with 26.

[Wanda]

Challenge is 52 books

[Carolyn]

I have hit my total of 30 books, fiction, mystery, amish, non--fiction- for the year; and I also started a bullet journal; with lists of book, series, to purchase, kindle to do yet.
Goal from February 2017--- (as previously stated) my main goal is to finish series books. Finding fill ins at library as an option; or paperbook swap. 30 books would be my goal. I need to do as Adrienne states; start a bullet journal.

[Carolyn]

Adrienne , can you share your bullet journal pages; I'm interested in seeing how you did it. It's always been at the back of my mind. are you in a bullet journal facebook page?

Adrienne wrote: "My goal is 26 books this year. I have a reading challenge list in my bullet journal. It includes things like "A book by Franklin Graham", "A biography", "A book With a Green Cover", etc."

Did you make it? Will you make it? Will you get close?

[Ashley]

I made mine 33/30 almost 34

[Carolyn]

beside the posting for sept above the 5th series to finish is
, 3 books in the series of The daughters of Caleb Bender, very good series; and his first series written. that's my 13 books; and may have read some stand alones, but have to check later, also need to check if I read any kindle; I know that was going to be christmas; but, haven't gotten them started, so that's not looking good. My major goal was to finsih more series sets. I guess I also need to post this in series challenges

The year's not over yet Carolyn. You can do it!

[Carolyn]

major accomplishment Annette, and Barb

[Carolyn]

the last series I finished is the 'daughters of Caleb Bender, such a good series. and so, I had 5 series, to finish the 13 amish books with that. my kindle choices , Noel, pet series, and one enchanted evening, by melissa Tagg; which these two don't come up in a search for these postings, go figure! I have three other kindle reads, , the other two were not amish; but, got in the 6 kindle. With another group on goodreads; I will finish 46 books total. good for me.
