This challenge is to read books by Southern authors set largely in the American South. I expect this will be a library-based challenge on my end, given my general To Be Read list. Although I may surprise myself and find something among my owned pile.
I am signing up for the Level 3 challenge – 5-6 books started and completed in 2024. Books will be listed below as I start them, and linked once I complete them.
Adding a couple other challenges to my list to get through my To Be Read piles in the house. Between trips to the Book Barn and random Friends of the Library sales, I have a bit of a pile issue. 🙂 The Backlist Reader Challenge is for books that were published at LEAST a year ago – so in 2022 or earlier. Fresh reads only, no re-reads (although the rules do allow for them if it’s been over 10 years and can’t remember it).
I will have my list up before December 31st in this post!
I have a ton of books around my house to read thanks to multiple trips to the glorious Book Barn in Niantic, CT. Covid really did a number on my reading habit, and one of my goals for 2024 is to get back into reading. A couple reading challenges will definitely help me get back on track!
Gillion at Rose City Reader is sponsoring the TBR 24 in ’24 challenge. For full details, check out her blog via the link above. Essentially it’s a read 24 books in 2024 from the “To Be Read” stack you already own. 🙂 I’ll add books to the list as I go, and link to thoughts as I finish them.
