In the past, I haven't been much for reading challenges. I've always been more of a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants, what's-new-at-the-library-this-week kind of reader, and over the past two years, I've been more of a why-is-my-Goodreads-want-to-read-list-THAT-long-let's-read-it-down kind of reader. But after feeling a bit bloated on nonfiction from that, I've decided to jump right in with a 2019 challenge that will hopefully shake up my reading life a little.
Enter the
2019 Modern Mrs. Darcy Reading Challenge. This seems doable, doesn't it? Even for the most challenge-resistant, like me. ;)
I already have some books from the library on a topic that fascinates me, and I guess another one of those books in my stack (which came from my Goodreads Want to Read list) count as a book I've been meaning to read, so I'm already off to a good start, I think!
Are you planning on any challenges this year?
I love reading challenges, but I don't usually get anywhere near finishing them. It's just fun to come up with a list and try to conquer it. If I don't finish, I don't finish. I just try to have fun with it :)
ReplyDeleteThis challenge definitely looks doable. Good luck with it!
That is the best attitude to have, I think! I get the idea into my mind that I *have* to finish it, but my brain gets distracted by that big shiny pile of books over there that absolutely don't fit into any challenge, and then it all goes downhill, haha. I need to learn to relax and just have fun with it, like you said. But this definitely seems doable! :)
DeleteI am doing this one too! I feel like it is enough of a challenge but doable. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteOh, awesome! I look forward to following along with your progress. I get so intimidated by the bigger challenges, but this feels good (plus I LOVE her podcast so much!). Good luck to you too! :)
