I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

RC: Read "Real" books (they mean print!)

Real Book Challenge on Swoony Boys Podcast and Fiction Fare

"Real" Book
Reading Challenge
2014

There are several levels, I'm going for . . . HOARDER . . . and hope to read 41-50 print books.

There is a GoodReads group and a newsletter, check it out!


This doesn't mean that ebooks aren't real reading, it just means that we've still got bookshelves full of print books that are begging to be read!

I love it--I am a "real book" person myself.

Thanks for the support--I hate to hear you've been there as well, but I do appreciate your thoughts. I had been meaning to hang out more in blog world and with real people and less on social networking sites anyway now that my back is healing. As I have been asked to step back from moderating for a while, it doesn't really matter whether I want to continue to moderate.
