More Reading Challenges

Reading! It's one of our favorite past times in the Manor Manor (when we remember that we enjoy it better than watching something! 😆) This year I really want us to get back into reading more both as individuals and as a family. In fact, the kids and I have already read three books this year that are more that a children's book intended for one sitting. 

Per usual I am attempting the Back to the Classics Challenge and I'm excited to hopefully succeed in finishing and posting a summary this year!

For additional challenges I am using the three I have used previously (but I'm also going to look at a couple of others that are recommended for other ideas!)

1. Tim Challies 2021 Reading Challenge has up to 104 books. Though my goal for this year on Goodreads is 55, I hope to read closer to 104. If I count board books I'll definitely reach that number! 😂 But in all seriousness between read alouds with the children and taking a little time to read each day I'd like to blaze by 55 to 104 even if they don't fit his categories perfectly.

If you're needing a book to fit into the category for Book Published in 2020 or 2021 you can get my book Together or Apart in print or on Kindle.

2. Modern Mrs. Darcy The 2021 MMD Reading Challenge is a little different this year. She is providing worksheets to help you figure out your reading goals and design a reading life. I'm not 100% sure what this is going to entail as I have not fully looked at the sheets yet, but I'm excited to delve in and grow in my reading life this year.

3. The Christian Reading Challenge 2021 with Jami Balmet from Young Wife's Guide has always been interesting to me, even when I fail to read the books on her list. This year they have combined the men's and women's challenges into one and have not given book titles for the specific categories. Instead there are recommendations for each category listed on the website which I may or may not read this year, but will take note of for the future if I don't. 

My book, Together or Apart, can be used for Christian fiction, which is a new category for her challenge this year!

Jami has listed other challenges I'd like to check out, but this is a good start as between the three a LOT of ground is covered!

So what are you reading??? Join me, won't you!
