Reading Challenge

Reading Challenge

I’m always looking for ways to challenge myself in my reading. While doing research, I stumbled on one I really liked. I made some modifications for my personal reading, and decided to add two rules:

  1. No re-reading a book unless the challenge calls for it (i.e. #33)
  2. One book is not allowed to count for two areas

Stay tuned! As I finish off the book for the challenge, I will add the title, author, and date I read it.

Please join me! Send me an email at patchettspassions@gmail.com with the subject line Reading Challenge for your copy of the reading list. Keep track of the books you read. When you complete the challenge, send it back to me. Those who complete the challenge will be entered to win some prizes!

50 books is too many for you? Totally okay! Help us out by giving some reading recommendations in the comments below. I’m excited to add your books to my reading list!

Happy reading in 2022 my friends!
