Reading Challenges 2018

Well, yes, it's almost the end of January, so it's a bit late to be posting something about Reading Challenges for the year, but I'm going to do so anyway. Last year I didn't do a specific challenge at all, but I thought I would give it a try this year. I picked out two challenges that seem doable to me.

I've been sharing my weekly reading list summary at The Book Date for quite some time, so signing up for the Full House Reading Challenge 2018 at the same blog seemed like an obvious choice. I'll be keeping track of books in the following categories and linking up my reviews each quarter. Participants who complete the "full house" by reading a book in each of the 25 categories will be able to link up their completion of the challenge and will be entered for a prize.

LIST 

1. Mystery or thriller (A Treacherous Curse)
2. Historical (Judah's Wife)
3. Over 500 pages
4. Setting in library or  bookshop
5. 4 word title
6. Last book added to your TBR (as of the time you fulfil this one) (In Places Hidden)
7. Classic
8. Fantasy
9. Coming of Age theme
10. Adapted to a Movie
11. Holiday season
12. Has big plot twist
13. Humor
14. Book to improve your life (French Women Don't Get Fat)
15. Redemption theme (A Light on the Hill)
16. Has a number in the title
17. Under 250 pages
18. New to you author from another country
19. From a favorite series of yours
20. Dual time line
21. Non fiction hobby book
22. Children's book ( could be a picture book if wished)
23. Book chosen randomly from TBR shelf. You might like to do it with your eyes closed from an actual shelf. Or check your TBR on Goodreads, see how many there are and put that number into random.org. Or whatever method you think of.
24. Memoir or Autobiography
25. Reread

I've also decided to try the very low-key 2018 Reading Challenge at Modern Mrs. Darcy. Although this one has a list of categories, there's no finish line or prize at the end, so it's just a personal goal to see how many of the categories I can read.

LIST 

1. A Classic you've been meaning to read
2. A book recommended by someone with great taste
3. A book in translation
4. A book nominated for an award in 2018
5. A book of poetry, a play, or an essay collection
6. A book you can read in a day
7. A book that's more than 500 pages
8. A book by a favorite author (A Treacherous Curse)
9. A book recommended by a librarian or indie bookseller
10. A banned book
11. A memoir, biography, or book of creative nonfiction
12. A book by an author of a different race, ethnicity, or religion than your own
