Reading Challenges for 2024

[under_the_silk_tree]

I can't believe it is time to sign up for next year's reading challenges already.  2024 is only three days away and I am so not ready.  I am always so excited to sign up for these challenges and I am so very thankful to the people who run them! Plus, I love getting to talk to others about what we are all are reading.  This post is also so I can keep straight what I have signed up for.  If you guys have any recs for reading challenges, I would love to have them as I am always wanting to have more options.  

1. I am once again signing up for Mount TBR.  Basically, you are trying to read a certain amount from your own selves before you read from other sources.  I have increased my level each year and after counting my physical books and my ebooks I have definitely more than enough for the Mount El Toro which is 75 books from my TBR in a year.  lol Finished!

2. I also have signed up once again for Cloak & Dagger challenge.  It is all about the mystery/thriller genre.  Since it is one of my favorites, I decided to sign up for the Sherlock Holmes level which is 56+. Finished! 

3. Plus I have several challenges ongoing in the Lost Challenge group over on Goodreads.  If you like reading challenges they have a great variety and are constantly starting new ones.  

4. I am also continuing a challenge that I started last year where I try to read down the series, I am still interested in continuing:

That is a lot of reading challenges! I should do the Mount TBR for sure, lol!

The link to the Cloak and Dagger challenge is weirdly missing a ":" after the https.

I have found Mount TBR so helpful it makes me at least pause before I reach for books that are not on my shelf. lol

Thank you! I fixed it. I should have checked the links, but it was late, and I was so tired.

[cornerofmadness]

I'm doing cloak and dagger and Mount TBR too. I'm also doing the popsugar challenge and the alphabet soup and literary escapes challenges

Let me know how the Lost one goes

[under_the_silk_tree]

I love Cloak and Dagger and Mount TBR.

Those challenges all sound good. I've been tempted by the PopSugar one before but have never quite pulled the trigger.

Good Luck and Happy Reading!

I like the prompts this year coming better than 2023's with some exceptions (What their obsession with ages of characters and sports is baffling to me but I have most of the prompts filled via books I own so there's that)

Good luck with the challenge :D
