And just like that it is 2025! I have so many plans for the year, at least for my reading. I shared some of the challenges I want to do this year in a recent post, but since then I've discovered another. It's an oldie that I did a few times back when book blogging was in its heyday. And I've discovered that it's still being hosted! So I'll jump in again for fun and nostalgia.
The idea of this challenge is that you read something with a totally arbitrary category in its title. It can be rather entertaining to see what people choose! The host for this challenge, Carolina Book Nook, says:
In 2025, choose 6 books that have titles that contain:
Cardinal direction
Wanderlust
First & last name
Alliteration
Deity
Crime
There are examples for each category on her signup page if you're interested, too!
**********************************
I'll also be sharing a lot of reviews for my final reads in the Century of Books project, over the next few weeks. I am trying to finish up this round as quick as I can so that I can go ahead and start another round for 1925-2025 -- even if the official challenge isn't running this year. Check out Simon at Stuck in a Book, the creator of this challenge, who has just completed his 2024 Century. And who does a lot of other very cool bookish things like his great podcast, Tea or Books.
I love that you're going straight into another ACOB challenge! I usually leave it a few years between my own challenges, but love it when people do it any time.
ReplyDeleteI find this challenge very motivating. Thanks so much for coming up with it!
DeleteI'm excited you're back in the challenge! I'm looking forward to seeing what you choose for each category!
ReplyDeleteI love the random, serendipitous nature of this challenge. Happy that you're hosting it!
