Reading Challenges for 2022

[under_the_silk_tree]

I have signed up for a variety of reading challenges this year as I always have so much fun with them. So here goes. :D


1. First is the Goodreads Challenge. This year I decided in honor of 2022 to try to read 122 books. Also I want to try to focus on continuing or completing series that I've started and always meant to finish.  FINISHED

2. Next I decided to do the Mount TBR challenge again over on Goodreads. Basically, it is a challenge where you pick a goal to read a certain number of books that you already own physically or e-books/audiobooks. This year I chose Mt. Ararat which is 48 books from my shelves by the end of 2022. FINISHED

3. I also decided to do the Cloak and Dagger challenge again. This is where you read a certain number of mystery/thrillers. I am signing up for the Sherlock Holmes level 56+ FINISHED

4. I am also doing the yearly challenge over at ljbookbingo This year it is an Alphabet challenge where you have to read a book for each letter of the Alphabet. I went through my books a bit and discovered I have a lot of books that start with S and M and hardly any that start with Q, Z, or O. FINISHED

5. I signed up for this one midway through the year but I think I can do it plus it is open ended so even if I can't do it by the end of the year it doesn't matter.  Read the Quote Challenge 2022 basically they give you a quote and you have to match up something on the cover that you can match to a letter in the quote.  FINISHED

6. Since I am almost done with the Read the Quote Challenge, and it is only September I decided to sign up for another open-ended book challenge over at Lost Challenges on Goodreads.  It is called The 50 State Challenge, where you try to read a book in each of the 50 states.  (ON Going but it is open-ended so I will put it on 2023's list)
