Looking for the ultimate Reading Challenge for 2019? Join me for the 2019 reading challenge and read a book a week with the Booklist Queen!
A few years ago, my mom showed me a reading challenge for adults she’d found on Pinterest. “You can do it with me,” she remarked.
“Why not?” I told myself. While I don’t think I finished that reading challenge, I found that it helped me focus my reading. Instead of reading more of the same books, I suddenly was choosing books that had been lingering on my to-read list for far too long.
I never would have imagined that a few years later I would have a book blog of my own. I was just the other day noticing that on Goodreads, I have several books that I have been meaning to read now for 5 years. Now seems like the perfect time for my own Booklist Queen Reading Challenge 2019 (originally the Pingel Sisters Reading Challenge on my previous website).
Ever ambitious, I wanted this reading challenge to be a bit of a challenge. I wanted a goal that could be realistically in reach for many people, while still making a concerted effort. That’s why I settled on a book a week.
If you’re not quite ready to read a book a week for your 2019 reading challenge, I’ve still got you covered! Feel free to pick and choose categories as much as you like.
