Reading Challenge
It's near the end of August and I've yet started any reading challenge I mentioned in a post earlier this month. Actually... it's not really limited to this month. It can be a year thing. Like before 2021 ends.
Oh right, I do have that jar to pick out unread books to read so that can be the reading challenge too. Currently I'm in the process of updating the contents.
I actually pulled out one book title out of the plastic jar a couple weeks ago. You know what I got? "Footsteps in the Dark". A book I was reading at that moment. Lol. Haven't pick out a new one yet.
Might as well make it a rule or game now. If I don't make a clear goal now, I'll procrastinate doing it later.
So, first challenge. Pick out a book from jar and finish in a week? Which will not be fun if I got a thick and [maybe] boring book (oh no). But I'll be very lenient to myself. I can leave the book unfinished. Maybe pick a new book if I do that... but the one week time will not change. Yeah, that will do. I can start this on Sunday (Aug 29th).
Second challenge. A mini reading list which will contain books I must finish reading by the end of the year. Oh no... this is getting ridiculous lol. Maybe not a must. At least five books from the list...? Yes, that sounds better. I'm going to use my "not-rigid" list from June (left out the ones I've already read).
Emma
Jane Eyre
The Lost World
Castle in the Air
House of Many Ways
The Remains of the Day
Third challenge... wait. Should I really add more? I guess I'll make it optional. Pick any book in the bookshelf and read in one sitting within a day. Yes this sounds fun (sarcasm). Honestly though, this will help me finish the short books I have in my shelf. Or this challenge can easily be finish one book I'm currently reading (so like a "last spurt" kind of thing..).
Tempted to make two more (because five is a fine number haha) but can't think of any now. These three challenges are good enough for me (although one of it is optional so I don't know if that counts because I might not do that at all...).
