[Erica]

Hey guys! I'm Erica, I live in SW Florida. I LOVE to read and would gladly sit for hours ignoring real life in favor of becoming engrossed in a story life. Unfortunately that's not always possible with work, and kids and hubby that need to eat for some reason? This is my first reading challenge, 40 is going to be a stretch, I just made my goal of 12 this year! But I'm really excited to check off some of the books on my to-read list and explore different genres!

[Christine -]

Hi ! I’m Christine from Scotland - 2018 will be my first reading challenge. I’m trying a couple and came across this one. It looks like fun !

[Melissa]

Hi! I am Melissa from San Francisco. I'm a corporate lawyer who reads all day every day for work and really fell of the wagon on reading for fun. I want to do this challenge because I used to love reading and don't want my job to take that away from me.

Cheers! I'm also @melissagetsoutside on instagram if anyone else uses instagram!

[Robyn]

Hi - I'm Robyn. I'm a water engineer who over-schedules her life and forgets to make time for herself. The challenge will hopefully help me remember that I don't constantly have to be doing something "productive" to be living my best life. :)

[Brenda]

Hello everyone!! I'm Brenda from NW Pennsylvania. I just recently found out about this challenge. It sounds like so much fun. I'm excited to give a go.

[Fiona]

Hi, I'm Fiona! I'm a junior in college who tries to squeeze in as much reading time as I can. I usually do Popsugar challenges every year but this is my first time actually joining a group. I can't wait for the new year to begin and to start this challenge! Good luck to everyone!! :)

[Milena]

Hi. I'm Milena from New York. This is my first time doing a reading challenge.

[Kira]

Hi there! I'm Kira from Denmark and this too is my first reading challenge! I wanted to join because I haven't really been reading so much this year and when I did it was mostly the same type of books again and again. This challenge will definitely motivate me to read more and more diverse and I'm suuuper excited for that!
Hopefully I'll read the 40, but I'm aiming more towards 30-ish.
Good luck to all of you! :)

[Jessica]

Hi, I'm Jessica from Southern California. I love to read but have really been in a reading slump for.... probably years. This is my first challenge, and I'm hoping it helps give me some focus, rather than just waiting until I happen to come across something that strikes my fancy. Can't wait to start!

[Shreya]

Hi, I'm Shreya. I'm from Massachusetts and I'm a blogger whose plan is to use 2018 reading challenges to discover books outside of my comfort zones.

[Denise]

Hello all! I'm Denise from Texas. I'm a social worker, wife and mother of one daughter. I've been reading almost non-stop since age 4 and love all genres. This will be my first reading challenge and I can't wait!

[Sabrina]

Hi! I'm Sabrina from Alabama, currently in graduate school in Atlanta, GA! This is my first reading challenge, and I'm hoping to use it to rediscover books that have been on my TBR list for far too long!

[Gemma]

Hello, I'm Gemma and, along with my mum and younger sister, I have been an obsessed bookworm since a very young age. I recently discovered this reading challenge through a mutual friend on Goodreads and thought I would give it a try for the new year. In the past, I sometimes found finding the time to read quite difficult, due to studying, work and other commitments in my life. However, I still try to make sure I read everyday, as much as I can, and I think this challenge will help give me the extra push! So, as part of my 2018 Resolution... let the reading commence!

[Rhonda]

Hi! I'm Rhonda. I heard about this challenge for the first time about halfway through 2017 and decided I would take part for 2018.

I'm very excited about all the prompts! I've discovered some of my favorite books through reading challenges.

[Denise]

I'm Denise from California. I have 2 teenage daughters who keep me on my toes. I had a rough year last year, so I didn't quite meet my reading goal. I will be doing better this year. I want to use this challenge to guide me on my way to my annual goal of 62 books.

[Laura]

Hi! I'm Laura, 57, from Midland, Texas. I am amazed at the variety of readers in this group - from all ages and all over the world. How fun. I usually read mysteries and popular fiction, so I am looking forward to expanding my literary horizons with this challenge and seeing what others do with the list.

[Theresa]

Hi! I'm Theresa from Singapore, but I'm sort of a vagabond at the moment. Books keep me company on long plane journeys! I love reading fantasy/sci-fi but have always been open to exploring new genres. I'm excited to read books that might not have been on my radar otherwise!

[Emma]

Hi guys! I'm Emma and I'm a student at Sarah Lawrence in New York but I'm currently in California for Christmas break (no snow, yay!). I've always loved reading but it's been hard to find new books to read so I've been trying different reading challenges to expand my horizons. I did the Popsugar Challenge last year and I'm super excited to do it again.

[Zoe]

Morning all 😊 I'm Zoe from England, a self confessed bibliophile, coffee drinker, and cat lover! My goal for this challenge is to try and read the books that are currently piling up next to my book shelves! My goal is to buy no more than just one new book per month, and to fit what I currently own into the prompts 👍.
I'm going to plan month to month, as how much I read varies depending on my other plans. I'll be following the monthly challenge prompt, reading the book if I have it, or choosing another if I don't own or have already read it, and look forward to seeing what I can accomplish this year!
Big hugs, xxx

[Claire]

Hi, I’m Claire from Scotland and I’m really looking forward to starting this challenge.

[Lolly]

Hello! I'm Lauren from Australia! I have three shelves of books that I never get to so I would like to hopefully source books from my own collection. I believe I watch too much TV and want to watch less. I will be tracking my progress in my bullet journal. I am so excited!

[Sarah]

Hi all! I'm Sarah and i'm from New Zealand. I got into the popsugar challenge for 2015, but then only read a handful of books for the last couple of years. I'm looking to get back into the swing of reading again :)

[Emily]

Hey everyone! I'm Emily, and I'm from Pennsylvania. I'm currently in my junior year of college, majoring in English/Professional Writing. I usually read YA, with some NA mixed in. I thought doing this challenge would be a great way to spice up my reading library.

I also post reviews both on Goodreads and on my blog The Little Book Affair. I also have a Twitter for my blog @tlbookaffair.

Feel free to follow me on all, some, (or none) of my social media. I'm super excited to be a part of this group and to start the challenge. :)

Hi I'm Vicky from New York . I found the 20017 challenge in June and I really enjoy it. I plan to start 2O18 next month. I'm new to the group. so I will be using this group for some ideas as well .I will say I probably won't post too much . However I am at my best when I able to give a few suggestions for prompts. Good luck to everybody in this challenge! Thanks, for having me join you!

[Kim]

HI! I'm Kim, from So. Cal., and this is my 3rd year doing the challenge. I love how it works with books I already want to read, and often gets me to branch out into new genres. I mostly listen to audio books while knitting (I have monthly knitting challenges, too). I've got my PopSugar list on one of my reading groups on Ravelry (an online group for knitters and crocheters), and it will be fun to participate here, too!

If you knit or crochet, keeping your list on a place like Ravelry is great. I can access my list by phone, and make my updates there. I've got my list in a post, and I can make notes of books I intend to read, etc., then put them in bold once I've read them. My friends keep their reading lists there, but I'm usually the only one doing this challenge.

[Steph]

Hey guys I'm Steph and I'm from Scotland. I recently saw this challenge online and decided to give it a go, but I've had to shorten it a bit since I'm currently in university and my course requires I read books alongside my assigned lectures :)

[Camila]

Hi! I'm Camila, from Chile (I speak Spanishi, so my English is not so good), I'm a mechanical Engineer, I took his challenge from 2015 but I've never completed it. I will try this year. :)

[Alison]

Greetings from York, SC. I'm hoping this reading challenge will help me vary my reading habits (I tend to get stuck in one genre). I'm also striving to reduce my TBD stack so I can finally get to some of the books I already own.

This is my first challenge and my first ever post on goodreads. I'm excited to get started and nervous about finding good books to fit each prompt. Let's go! ~Alison

[Kerry]

Hi everyone. I'm Kerry from the United States and this will be my first book challenge. I love to read but sometimes have difficulty finding the time. This challenge will help me read more and out of my usual genre. My favorite is historical fiction, non-fiction and fantasy. I have 1280 books on my kindle plus 50 hard/paperback books. I need to put a dent in them. LOL Looking forward to getting started!

[Kelli]

Hi Everyone! I’m Kelli and live in Nashville, TN. I’ve always been an avid reader and am constantly looking for ways to take my reading outside of my comfort zone. This group looks like a great place to do just that. Welcome all!

[Becky]

Hi everyone,
I'm a retired school teacher in South Carolina. I am stuck in a rut of reading history and historical fiction. This challenge will help diversify my book list AND keep me from watching the news. I'm trying to figure out how to edit the list and post it. 2018-best year yet.

[Maureen]

Hi my name is Maureen. This will be my first popsugar challenge. Im a bit apprehensive about getting overwhelmed in the categories. But with a group like this to share in is just what I need!

[Bianca]

Hi, I'm Bianca, from Michigan. I have been going the PopSugar challenges for a while now and just found out about this group. I'm hoping to get more ideas and stay on track for the challenge. Can't wait to get started on 2018.

Nice meeting you all. :D

[Taylor]

Hi all! I'm Taylor. I'm 26 and from San Diego, California. I've always been an avid reader, but for the past few years I haven't really read much of anything. I'm not sure why, but in 2018 I'm going to change that! Looking forward to branching out into different genres as well!

[Molly]

Hi everyone! My name is Molly. I'm currently living in Washington, DC, but I'm originally from New Jersey. I'm excited to do the Popsugar reading challenge this year - though when I was high school (and college) I preferred to read fiction, I'm now an avid consumer of nonfiction, and I'm hoping to use the challenge to branch out in both areas as well!

[Britta]

Hello!
I'm Britta from Germany. This is my first Popsugar Challenge and second challenge participation total. Like Lauren back in message 853 I have too many books on my TBR shelves and will try to use them as prompt fills, watch too much TV and will track this and the A-Z Fantasy/SciFi challenge I'm setting for myself in my BuJo.
I'm looking forward to this!

Hi, I am Melissa, from Wisconsin. I did the 2017 challenge and finished it but didn't join the Goodreads page because I didn't know about it. I'm glad I found this and am looking forward to the new prompts. I read some great books in 2017 I wouldn't have found out about without the challenge.

[Lise]

Hi, I am Lise, a 19 year old girl from Belgium. This is my first time joining in on the fun and I'm so excited. I just found out about the challenge and I can't wait! I can already tell it's going to be so much fun
