All the Books! discussion

Goodreads is doing a Summer Reading Challenge!

If you were planning on participating, I thought this would be a great place to keep track of all your books during the challenge and share your progress.

Take On the Goodreads Summer Reading Challenge!
For book lovers who want to stretch their reading goals this season, our exclusive summer reading challenge is here to help. Below you'll find prompts for beginners who want to get their feet wet and additional prompts for experts who want a deeper dive. You can also download a PDF version here. Happy reading!

Celebrate Summer Reading on Goodreads

For the wheel of format, I would choose a genre you don't normally read. For me, it'd probably be contemporary, since I rarely read books like that. But any genre that isn't in your wheelhouse would be perfect... poetry, autobiography, ebook, cookbook, romance, sci-fi, non-fiction, etc.

The Summer Reading Challenge ends on September 23rd! How many books have you read?
