Reading Challenges I’m participating in 2024
I am participating in the same reading challenges I did last year, some of which were a success, some not so much. I hope to do better this time around.
2024 Goodreads Challenge
My goal is to read 100 books this year, same as 2023. Although I surpassed this goal by 60 books, I prefer to remain at 100.
2024 Audiobook Challenge
Kimberly at Caffeinated Reviewer hosts the 2024 Audiobook Challenge. This year, I’m going for the Marathoner Lev level of 50 audiobooks. Ambitious! I know, seeing that I only listened to 28 in 2023. Rereads count, and audiobooks can also count toward other challenges.
Netgalley and Edelweiss Reading Challenge 2024
Yvonne at Socrates’ Book Reviews hosts the 2024 Netgalley and Edelweiss Challenge. This challenge entails reading and reviewing NetGalley and Edelweiss ARCs, no matter how long they have been on your shelves. I really need this! I am way behind on my ARCs, if only I could stop requesting books. Once again, I am aiming for the Gold level (50 books). I accomplished my goal in 2023 and exceeded it by three books. I hope to make it to at least 60.
COYER Unwind 2024
I’ll be participating in COYER challenges again this year, starting with COYER Unwind, Chapter 1: Winter Rules. This runs from January 1 through March 31, 2024. The Winter Rules are strict, as only digital books count towards this challenge. E-books, audiobooks and only books that are free or nearly free (under $5 for e-books, under $7.50 for audiobooks) are permitted. Library books or books that are “free” to read through a subscription service like Amazon Prime, Kindle Unlimited, or Audible Plus are not acceptable.
You can see the full rules for Chapter 1, as well as the dates and rules for Chapters 2, 3, and 4, by clicking on the graphic or title above.
2024 Thrifty Thursday
Anne @Books of my Heart hosts the Thrifty Thursday reading challenge. The goal is to read books which were free at the time you acquired it. I do need this challenge as I have quite a few free books on my Kindle. My goal, is 24 freebies. I hope to do better this time around, as I only read 10 in 2023.
