I sign up for the Goodreads Challenge every year and I've already completed it with 177/175. I'll be reading more before the end of the year so I'm sure that number will climb. I'll be signing up again with a goal of 175.


What about you? What challenges have you signed up for?

  4. You did well, Rachel. I didn't sign up this year as I probably listen to 75% of the books I enjoy. I am planning on participating in When Are You Reading, The Great Canadian Reading Challenge, 12 Friends 12 Books, Beat the Backlist, Finishing the Series and a few personal goals like Reading Across North America, Reading 24 books on my physical bookshelf and maybe Reading Nonfiction. It sounds like a lot, but I double and triple dip at times.
