Nothing But Reading Challenges
Decades Challenge 2024 Lite
Duration: 1 March 2024 to 1 March 2025

Progress: 0 out of 55

The number of books you have to read for each of the years is the number corresponding for that year and must be published within that year.

For example:

2024 = 4 books published in 2024
2023 = 3 books published in 2023
2022 = 2 books published in 2022
2021 = 1 book published in 2021
2020 = 10 books published in 2020
2019 = 9 books published in 2019
etc...
2015 = 5 books published in 2015

LEVELS

Level L-10 = 55 books.

Read five (5) books for 2015, then six (6) for 2016 and so on with the corresponding ending number to 2024.

Fantasy - Round 2
Duration: April 11, 2024 - April 10, 2025

Progress: 0 out of 26

You ever wondered what everyone else is reading in a certain genre? Are you in a funk and just need some suggestions? Or have read through all your TBR and you are looking for your next favorite book?

In this Challenge Theme, we will take a random week and list all the most read books that week in Goodreads for various genres.

Explore the different books your fellow Goodreaders are reading to find your next book.

---For this particular challenge, the books won't change. It'll stay the 100 books posted above. Just pick how ever many books you want to read in a year from this list.
---We will revisit the most read in this genre at another time. Possibly months from now. With hopefully, or at least mostly, a new list of 100 books. Those would be separate challenges from this one. They are each individual.
---If there are books listed in this challenge that you've already read this year, you can certainly backdate the start of your challenge year so that you may include them.
---If a book from the above list is in a series, you can read a book earlier in the series in its place and it will count.
---You can read your novels in any language.

New 2U Authors Challenge 2024
Duration: 1/1/2024 - 12/31/2024

Progress: 20 out of 20 (Devil May Care = 20 or more!)

Reoccurring every year, but start fresh from January to December.
(If you start after January, you may back-post from the beginning of the year.)

Rules
Read books by authors that are New 2 U (new to you).

• If an author writes under a pseudonym, you may use that, provided it is a different genre (or sub-genre, writes Historical Romance under one name and Paranormal Romance under another) and you have NOT read any of those books.
• Anthologies are always a wonderful way to try someone new, so as long as one of the stories has been written by a New 2 U author, they are permitted.
• Audiobooks are fine.
• Novellas are fine.
• You can set your goal now, or adjust as the year progresses.
• Feel free to make a special comment, if you found a real winner.
