All right . . . one more.
The blog While I Was Reading (great name, btw), is running a challenge this year, here are the categories:
- Read a book that takes place in one day.
- Read a memoir or biography of a musician you like.
- Read a collection of poetry.
- Read an audio book with multiple narrators.
- Read a self published book.
- Read a book you received as a gift.
- Read a book about a historical event you’re interested in (fiction or non).
- Read a book written by an author from the state where you grew up.
- Read a book recommended by one of your parents (in-laws count).
- Read a book with your favorite food in the title.
- Read a book with a child narrator.
- Read a book you chose based on the cover.
Details/sign up/etc. are here at this page.
I’ll be tracking my reads here or you can see the posts about the books here.

I find it so interesting that this type of thing works for so many people. To me it seems stifling and killing off the reading spirit. But then I turn around and look at how my reading schedule is setup and think, “hmm, mine has a lot more structure and less room for ‘spirit’ than these kinds of challenges”. But I don’t mind my structure at all.
Well, I hope this works for you. And that you have fun ?

Doing a little to keep myself out of a rut. I like my ruts, though.
