[Chana]

Hi, I'm Chana. I was going to do this challenge in 2018 but didn't end up doing it. This year it is going to be my what to read now guide. I've already started to line up my choices and I'm feeling inspired. Happy New Year everyone!

[Patricia]

Hi everyone!!! I'm Patricia and I'm from Chile! At the other end of the world from most of you! I love reading since I discovered there were more than school mandatory books. I'm 22 and I'm a nursing student currently in my 3rd year. I'm super excited for this challenge 'cause even when I love to read, I haven't read in a while. I hope I can complete the list!

[Catarina]

Hi, I'm Catarina and I'm from Portugal. I'm trying to match the books I already own to the ones for this challenge (which is sometimes a little tricky) and I have 20 so far. I put the names of all of them in a jar and I'll just randomly pick them to decide what to read next!

Hi! I'm Shaunna, I'm from just outside of Atlanta, Georgia. I'm mom to a 6 year old with another on the way, and I work a full-time job. This is my first time doing the PopSugar challenge, although I've wanted to for the past 2 years! I'm hoping that having a plan will make it easier for me to make time to actually read again. I miss it! Can't wait to get started!!

[Jenn]

Hello! This will be my first year trying this challenge after someone in a knitting forum recommended it to me.

My name is Jenn. I currently reside in Windsor, Ontario. I'm a fan of murder mystery and historical romances, but I'm also big on not knocking it until I've tried it. I'm looking forward to doing lots of reading in 2019!

[Theresa]

Hello, Theresa here from Munich. I have been looking for a new reading challenge. Looking forward to it. I have a 3-year-old and my own business, so I spend far too much time with kids books and works related reading. Hoping to broaden my horizons this year.

[Tamara]

Hey there, I'm Tamara. I married with a dog (a dachshund/chihuahua mix named Oogie) and live in the DC area. My husband reads about 200 books a year (sometimes 8 at once!), and my MIL is a librarian. In the past few years I haven't read much, and read the most I've read in a long while this past year. So, I've joined this group/challenge to try to read more. Looking forward to reading more in 2019! :-)

Hi there! I'm Sandra from Sydney Australia! I'll read anything usually and managed to reach my challenge of 60 books this year. I haven't done the challenge before, though my book group did a modified version this year. Can't wait!

[Kate]

Hey all, I’m Kate from MO! I have always been an avid reader, but since adulthood have struggled to read as much as I would like. This year, I did much better than previous years and read 32 books! I’m hoping that by participating in this challenge and the 2019 Reading Women Challenge I will easily up that to 40!! Can’t wait!

[[deleted user]]

Hi all - I'm Jessica from a small city in southern Wisconsin. I did the challenge in 2018 for the first time and it really helped me expand my reading options. I'm looking forward to this year's challenge and hoping that this group allows me to find books for prompts more easily. :)

Hi everyone! This is Swetha from India. I have always loved reading. But with 2 boys (aged 5 & 10), reading has taken a back seat from the past few years. But I really want to get back to it. So I thought this challenge might help me get back to reading. And I am counting on the group to suggest books in different genres to finish the challenge. Thanks.

[Stephanie]

Hello! My name is Stephanie, and I am SO excited about this challenge! I am a fifth grade reading teacher, so challenges like this are really close to my heart! I am even thinking about sharing it (edited) with them! I am looking forward to all of your thoughts, inspiration and conversations! (That was a lot of exclamation points, I know. LoL)

[Becky]

Hi all I'm Becky from the UK. This is my first reading challenge and I am really looking forward to it. I have recently started to read a mixture of genres and realised that fantasy/Sci-fi novels, (adult and YA ) have become a firm favourite. Can't wait to get started and share ideas with everyone!

[Monica]

Hi! I’m Monica and I live in Florida. I love to read but find myself listening to lots of audiobooks because of adult responsibilities. I’m really looking forward to participating in the challenge and am looking for books I read in 2018 to see if I’m as deprived as I feel.

[Ashleigh]

Hi everyone. I'm Ashleigh from Cape Town, South Africa. I've always loved literature - I majored in English lit at university and I am currently a high school English teacher. However, over the past few years reading has become something I associate with work and I seldom read for pleasure anymore. I'm hoping this reading challenge will change that. Looking forward to getting started! :)

[Dr. Crystal (theleisurelibrary)]

Hello my bookish friends! I'm Crystal from Virginia. This is my first time doing a reading challenge so I'm sure I will need recommendations at some point. Look forward to chatting/connecting with you all more through this journey!

Hello everyone! My name is Chrissy and I live in Germany although I will be moving to Washington, D.C. in a few weeks. I used to read a lot in high school but college work overwhelmed me and I slowly stopped reading. Now I'm ready to make reading a habit again instead of Netflix and mindless scrolling on my phone. I like to think I'm diverse in my reading choices, but end up reading mostly mystery/thriller books. Can't wait to join you all in this challenge. Good luck everyone!

Hi everyone! I work in special education and am finishing my last semester in graduate school.

[Rhiannon]

My name is Rhinny.

I am a florist, gardener, crafter of many hobbies, gamer but at the moment I care for my nan who lives with me and my family and my 2 dogs.

I am new to Goodreads this year and only today discovered this challenge. Am looking forward to having a go.

I always loved doing the reading challenge at college every year. Always got me motivated to read again and try new things. So this is a great way to do the same again.

Look forward to the challenge and making new friends on here.
