January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013
As you know, I really got into reading challenges. The fact that I have a written goal in my blog helped me read more of my TBR, to try some new genres, to give a second chance to some authors. The whole past year I searched for a challenge that will help me with certain books but couldn't find. I checked a lot of the new challenges for 2013, and especially the "out of my comfort zone" type and found some very cute, but still not what I needed. Most of them focused on exploring new genres or choosing books on a random manner. So in the end, I decided to start one on my own and challenge myself. You are welcome to join, of course, I'll be very happy to have you! r you can only drop by and say things like "Good luck" and "Go girl!"
There are a number of books I feel guilty about. Some of them are presents I recieved years ago, that aren't really my type - and I'm freaking out everytime I see the person who gave them to me, waiting for the "Did you like it?" I feel guilty of having prejudice about books and authors I've never tried. And all those classics I've never checked - aww the lingering guilt of being a bad reader!Books I've started but never finished. And that time I spent so much on that hardcover beauty, but still haven't opened it?
Ok, you get the picture.
So I challenge myself with the following rules:
- to become more guilt free from January 1st to December 31st 2013. If you decide to, you can join anytime
- to write a review to see was I really right or wrong about postponing the book. If you decide to join -feel free not to write reviews if you don't feel like it! Not obligatory! But if you do, you're more than welcome to share.
- all kinds of books count (physical copies, e book, audio, short stories, poetry, graphic novels...)
- it doesn't matter when you bought/received the book. But I will try to focus on titles that spent more time on my TBR pile
- crossovers are more than welcome
- no need to make a list - only if you want to
- you don't need a blog to participate - you can link to elsewhere (Shelfari, goodreads, etc) or simply talk about your books in a comment. Or you can make a guest post :) If you have a blog, you can sign up in the Linky (scroll down under the translation)
Here are the levels:
Reluctant hero - read 1-3 books you for some reason feel guilty about
Eager for challenge - read 4-6 books you for some reason feel guilty about
Brave heart - read 7-10 books for some reason feel guilty about
It's on you to decide what book guilt is! This is my first challenge, so I might be missing something.
I don't know if anyone else would join me, but knowing that I have posted this in a blog might just help me!
