I am tracking on my Goal of 5. I love this Challenge!

Two of the Five are completed:
1. Rose Madder; and
2. Selections of Robert Frost.

The Three Remaining are:
3. Crooked Kingdom;
4. Better Luck Next Time; and
5. Dear Mrs. Bird.

A Bonus for me would be to start Desperation and My Friend Dahmer.

Update message 64 and 135.

I've finished my third book of 2021, but not the one I scheduled :-)
It was The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse
I'm also reading Hold Back the Stars, so I set my goal for now at 5, instead of 3.

2021 Reading Challenge
January - Marathon Challenge
Duration: January 1 - January 31, 2021

Progress: 11 out of 15

This is such a hit every year, that we thought we would kick off the year again with a running start! How often is it our New Year's Resolution to read more books? How many of us set goals higher than we did last year? How many of us want to read that super long classic that has been sitting on our bookshelf collecting dust, or spend a winter day curled up on the couch with a pile of graphic novels? Let's start 2021 with a marathon of reading!

Pick a pile of books that you feel you could snuggle up with: a nice over-500-page book, a stack of books under 100 pages, or those books that have been on your TBR list for way too long. Anything you choose is fair game!

This is not a sprint, but a way to spend January in the pages! Pick the number of pages or books you would like to read in January and post them below. The goal is to make fast progress on your reading goals in the New Year. Who would have thought that you could do a marathon by hurrying up and sitting with a book?

I’ll be cheering you along and helping you get off to a running start!
