Reading Challenges - 2021 Edition

Updated: Dec 21, 2021

Similar to last year, I thought it would be helpful to me to keep track of my reading challenges for this year in one spot on this blog. I love setting reading goals. This year, I'm keeping it fairly simple. It will actually be the fewest challenges I've done in years.


1. Read at least 35 books.

2. Read at least 12 classics.

3. Read as much from my TBR bookcase as possible. (My specific goal is actually to read all the books from one shelf of the case.)


As I complete books, I will post about them on my Goodreads page, and then later, update my goals here as well.


I also am setting goals to post on social media more frequently and to keep this blog and the website up-to-date, so please follow me and check back here regularly, as I will post about reading and writing and all that good stuff, as well as my regular book reviews.
