Reading in 2017

So last year and the year before, I took the Goodreads Reading Challenge, where you say how many books you will read in the coming year.   (Okay, so I just checked and I have been doing the Goodreads Reading Challenge since 2011).  I always read more than I commit to and doing the challenge has me record each book I read (or listen to).  I have enjoyed it.  As you may know, I love book lists.  And in the spirit of book lists and expanding my reading (not necessarily more, as I will be in school for portions of the year, but in diversity), I am taking on 3 other reading challenges.  Two are lists, well all 3 are lists, but one requires reviews to win.  I don't know if I care about winning, but if I am going to play, I might as well follow the rules and be eligible.

In no particular order...

The BookRiot Read Harder Challenge with #ReadHarder

The Popsugar Reading Challenge with #popsugarreadingchallenge

The 2017 Back to the Classics Challenge

So feel free to look here and see what I am reading.

Last year, I started posting pictures of the books I had read and listened to each week.  I posted them on Instagram and Facebook and usually tweeted them too with the hashtag #thisweeksbooks.  (I am @KathleenMK)  I will continue doing that and adding the appropriate hashtags from the challenges above if they apply.

I am not a book worm; I am a book dragon.
(yes, I am a dork)

If you are looking for a reading challenge and none of these speak to you, check out this list of 20 from BookRiot.
