Here's how it works! One of my favorite blogs Modern Mrs. Darcy (is that not the most awesome blog name?!) recently shared her 2017 Reading Challenge. She offers 2 options: "Reading for Fun" and "Reading for growth". Each list has 12 categories. The categories range from things like "a juicy memoir" to "a Pulitzer Prize or National Book Award winner" and YOU get to choose a book that fits into each category to complete your list! You can choose to complete one or the other list (that's one book a month) OR a combination of both OR....BOTH!
So, here's how you join! I have created a private Facebook Group where we can share our awesome choices. Every month, sometimes twice, I will post the book I have chosen and what category it falls into and if you join you can share yours as well. Hopefully this will help us each get ideas or maybe turn us on to a book we haven't heard of before. We can share, comment and give thumbs up or mini reviews as we read. Best part, YOU get to read WHATEVER books you want!!
I am so excited to get started! If you follow the link to the 2017 Reading Challenge, you can join her challenge to get an email that will give you a free download for her 2 challenges in both bookmark and half sheet sizes. I took my two bookmark sizes and pasted them into the back of my 2017 calender for convenience and a reminder of my progress.
I shared the extras with a couple of the FIRST members of my book club. :) I really hope you will join us for this fun year of reading! I wanted to start you all out and give you a sneak peek! I will be starting out 2017 by checking off the first box in my "Reading for Fun Challenge". I chose a book that falls into the "a book with a reputation for being un-put down able" The Chemist by Stephenie Meyer.
