I’ve decided to host one more challenge, the Books in Translation Reading Challenge. I think this one’s pretty self-explanatory. The goal is to read translations of books. They don’t have to be in English; whatever language(s) you’re comfortable reading in is good. You can read any genre and any age range. Crossovers with other challenges Continue Reading…
“Have you read a book by an author that you really enjoyed and felt moved to read another of the author’s works? Or are you thinking to give an author another try even if you didn’t like your first taste of their work? If yes, then this challenge is for you!

I know I’ve mentioned this a few times already, but I’ve only started listening to audio books over the past year, and I’m surprised at how much I’ve started to like them. I’ve even written some words in a few reviews that I didn’t think I ever would: “I highly recommend this on audio.” What started as a desperate way to squeeze […]
I joined this challenge last year and did well enough that I’m signing up for it again. I can always use more encouragement to read the books I already own! From Bookish Ardour: “This challenge is to read those books you own a copy of, print, digital, and audio, you have been meaning to read, Continue Reading…
It’s that time of year again–time to sign up for challenges! I’ve decided to host the 2012 Southern Literature Challenge this year.
