Challenge Plan

The plan!

A new challenge and a new year!

It will start very busy for me, so I wouldn’t be surprised if there are several read nothing days in the first half of January. Not much I can do about that, but outside that I don’t know of any big challenges to the challenge. There will probably be more.

This would also be a good place to note that while I aim to read every day. I don’t mind missing days. Consistency is about doing it often, not always. At least that works much better for me.

My line up for this challenge is very VN, visual novel, heavy this time around. With two VN clubs running at the same time, plus me wanting to finishing Loopers which I read 40% of last year.

I also have Orange which I’ve reading with the club I’m leading. And in February, I will hopefully join the BBC, beginners book club, again for the reading of Komi-san. Although I might be too busying to join while the club is active.

Lastly, I feel I hope I can really start hitting reading in English (and Swedish) again. I was a voracious reader as a teen, but ever since I hit my twenties, it has been very hit or miss. Sometimes I’ll read loads, and then I’ll read nothing for a long time.

I once did the read one novel every week challenge during my voracious days, and I finished it within six months (instead of a year). I want to get back to that, at least a little.

And if someone wanted to see my reading goals for all of 2023, they are right here on my log. (A very long post warning applies (as usual).)
