I think I might. But we shall see. Are you doing the month by month one or the general list one?

I’m gonna do it. I’m already doing the Book Riot Read Harder challenge, but also going to add on the GR one. Just not sure if I’m doing the beginning or expert version yet.

I noticed that all the beginning tasks are also in the expert version – so I thought I might start with expert and see how it goes. If not, it’ll be easy to switch.

Yeah. I was also thinking of starting with beginner and if it seems like I can handle it then going for expert. But it might be better to do it the way you are honestly. Just cause it’s easier to step back from something if it’s too much.

Amanda

Yeah, I thought I’d start with the beginner tasks listed in June and then try and fill the other June tasks. I’m also okay with not finishing in three months and just adding books in to finish it off in the fall.

Tabitha

That’s true. I think if I tried to fit all that in such a limited window it might be too much. Though some things I might choose to fit the tasks are short stories. They actually do qualify.

Amanda

Yeah – I’ve been known to throw in a picture book I’ve read for the girls before (the non-Christmas holiday book prompt last year because it was my last one and also NYE.)

This is a lot of reading and I’m not sure I want it to dominate my entire summer of reading, so it makes sense to include shorter options. Maybe some graphic novels will fit too.

I’m shooting for the expert list, but will more likely complete only the beginner one ?

@Joni did you see the summer reading challenge?

Is it cheating if one book covers more than one of the topics? lol

Joni

@Bonnie , no, but I will check it out.

@Bonnie, do you see the beginner and expert levels separate?

0
Bonnie

@Joni yes. Figured I would do the beginner level.

Joni

@Bonnie, when I opened link I see the all the categories but only one set. I would definitely do beginner.

I looked at it on my laptop, put in Goodreads summer reading series and I got all the levels.

Thanks for putting this together. There are some great ideas. But I have many books (nonfiction) already in process and will be kept busy reading those.

I’m having a hard time finding books especially ones pertaining to the subjects, like a great wide area.

I was thinking anything set on a prairie, Arctic, desert or ocean.
