I’ve decided to do something different about challenges this year to make them more challenging. Or rather more about what I want to do with reading and blogging. So rather than following a bunch of challenges, I’m lumping them into Bookish Resolutions. I enjoyed the ones I have done like New Release, Audiobooks and Beat […]
This is my first year to do the challenges on the blog so I’m going to start with these two and maybe try COYER this summer. Audiobooks are really my bread and butter reading so I’m thinking a straight up 100 audiobooks should be doable. I usually read 150 books a year and […]
Levels: Dewey Decimal: Read 12 books Thrifty Reader: Read 24 books Overdrive Junkie: Read 36 books Library Addict: Read 48 books Library Card on Fire: Read 60+ books This is my third year in the Library Love Challenge. My goal was 48 books, the Library Addict level. I read and listen to quite a few but don’t always review them […]
I look forward to all the new releases and participate in the challenge since I knew I would be reading them anyway. I’ve met my goal of 125 and exceeded it easily by reading 190 new releases this year, unless I read anything today. Anne (reviewed on the blog) All New Releases (including […]

The Audiobook Challenge is hosted by Hot Listens and Caffeinated Reviewer for the 7th year of audiobook fun. 2019 was another great year of listening. I met my goal of 72 with a total of 163 audiobooks for the year, unless I finish a few more in the next few days. Anne (reviewed […]

As you will see from my list, I fall in love with a character and I stick with him even with other books in the series, where he isn’t a main character. Fantasy / Urban Fantasy makes this easy as often it is the same guy throughout the series. Pretty much, my choices over […]
