Taking the lead from the awesome creators of the Fill in the Gaps: 100 Project and The Classics Club, I have decided to create a similar challenge focusing on non-fiction books. The fruition of this idea came to me yesterday as I was looking at my shelves of non-fiction books. In my library of 3000+ books, non-fiction makes up about 1000+ of that total. I focus so heavily on fiction I never take the time to squeeze in some non-fiction reads which I do love to read. So I thought, why not follow the lead of those I mentioned above and create this challenge for the non-fiction genre.
Here are the guidelines:
- choose 50+ non-fiction books; the number is up to you. Choose 50, 75, 100, 200. It's entirely your choice
- Books must be non-fiction--biography, autobiography, history, memoir, cooking, travel, science, etc.
- list them at your blog (or on Goodreads or another social media site, if you do not have a blog)
- choose your completion goal date five years in the future and make note of it with your list of titles (like this: reading goal--50 books goal dates--March 20, 2012 - March 20, 2017)
- come back here and post the link to your list in the linky below
- write a review (or a short summary) on the book when finished and link it to the title in your list (or link to your review on Goodreads, again, if you don't have a blog)
- there will be pages posted at the top of the blog for you to link your reviews
- when you have completed the challenge, come add your link to the Completed Challenges page
- there will be a blog roll in the sidebar where I will list you/your blog linked to your lists
- grab the button in the right sidebar and link it back to this blog
- check out this PAGE which contains links to various online sources with lists of reading ideas
- I might host a read-a-long from time to time. If you are hosting one, or an event or challenge surrounding a non-fiction title, post about it at this PAGE
A couple more important details:
- this challenge can be crossed over with any other challenges
- your link in the linky [on the host’s sign up page] must lead to your list, not just your main blog address. Any links that are blog links only will be deleted
