[Book Blogger Hop] Skipping 2020 Reading Challenges

January 11, 2020      Erica Robyn      30 Comments

Book Blogger Hop Meme

Book Blogger Hop is a weekly meme hosted by Ramblings of a Coffee Addicted Writer, where you answer a question and join a “hop”. The purpose is to help bloggers discover and get to know one another.

For this week’s Book Blogger Hop, Billy @ Coffee Addicted Writer asks:

Do you have a reading challenge for 2020?

BBH My Answer

I didn’t sign up for any challenges this year.

I wanted to hold off again this year so I can focus in on simply getting caught up with my honest reviews that I haven’t been able to get to as I also make sure I am able to mood read.

That being said, I’m always on the look out for new challenges to write down what I may participate in next year!

Thanks for reading!
What are your favorite reading challenges?

    I’m not doing any challenges other than the Goodreads one. My goal is getting to more of my backlist books.

    Most reading challenges stress me out, so this year I’m only doing a Goodreads challenge. Hope you have a great weekend! Happy reading! 🙂

      Yeah… I’ve found that challenges make me get a bit of tunnel vision, then I get so fixated on only what the challenge outlines that it negatively effects my overall reading. Have a great weekend as well!!

    I only do the Goodreads one.

    Good idea to not do any challenges for yourself this year if it will help you get caught up.

    Happy 2020 Reading!!

    Hi there! Thanks for stopping by! I do understand why you haven’t signed up for any challenge. I have a few challenges as you saw on my website, but they are all about books that I can pick myself, with no prompts so I can choose which book to read because like you, I’m a mood reader and I don’t like to read a book because I “must” do it. So yeah I understand your answer. And by the way, you shouldn’t sign up for anything if you don’t feel like it 😉

    Have a nice weekend!

    I chose two challenges that already fit into my reading plans so it won’t be extra work. I wish you luck getting through your review books! That’s one of then things I need to work on too.Have a great week!

    I’m with Literary Feline – I picked challenges that go along with my reading and won’t be difficult to do!

    I’m doing the Goodreads Challenge but haven’t signed up for any challenges being hosted by other people as I ended up trying to do too much! I’m doing my own year long challenges with no goals and rules so it should be a calmer reading year!

    I’m hoping to catch up on some unfinished book series this year as well as doing the main Goodreads Books read challenge.
    I hope you enjoy the rest of your weekend.

    I don’t do many challenges. I signed up for two, and only one of them is related to reading certain books. I’m hoping to read a lot more of the books I already own this year.

    I am doing the Goodreads challenge with the pre-acceptance that I will almost definitely fail to meet my goal, ha! In the years I’ve done the Goodreads challenge, I’ve never met my goal, and I’m okay with this. I also want to use the PopSugar reading challenge as a guide for picking books this year (I’m already off to a terrible start with this >.<)

      hahaha It’s so tricky! I did the PopSugar challenge twice and I did really enjoy it! I just ended up taking it a bit too seriously I think 🙂

    No challenges for me this year either. I am still on my buying ban which hinders what I can do, and I am also working on just reading through the books on my own shelf at the moment.

    I can definitely understand on holding back on challenges when you have books that need to be read. Challenges can definitely add a lot more to your “to read” pile than necessary ha ha!
