Chapter Addicts discussion

i love participating in group challenges in other groups, and i would love to create one for the group! any ideas are welcome. we could do one that goes until the end of the year (like a tackle your tbr), or we could do ones that are themed for the months (like a spooky reading challenge in october). would you guys be interested?

i think it would be fun to do maybe a longer tackle your tbr and then maybe some shorter ones during the month. or possibly do some readathons!

Ooh I like those ideas

A spooky reading challenge sounds amazing!

I like the idea of doing themed challenges it would be fun and def the idea of tackle your tbr as I NEED to read the books on my tbr cos there is a LOT

anyone have any ideas for prompts for a tackle your tbr? i have some ideas already.... or a book count goal? ~r

Read a book YOUVE owned for more than 2 years
Read a book you’ve bought and forgot about
Read a book you’ve borrowed from someone and still haven’t returned

Read a book from the library
Read a book in a genre you typically don't read
Read a book by an author you love
Read a book by an author you haven't read before
Read a book published in 2021
These are fun to come up with hehe!

Woah these are awesome

Some prompt ideas:

Read a book published the year you were born
Read a book set in a city in your state/province
Read a book translated from a different language
Read a book set on a college/boarding school campus
Read a book with a three word title

Ohhhh those are really good!!

i'm loving all of these!!! ~r<3

Read a book from a series that you started but haven't finished yet
Read a book where the cover is your favourite colour
Read your most recent purchase

I love these so much!

Ooh nice

I'm loving all the ideas, it'll be a great way to tackle my tbr

Okay but I want to do all of these challenges! ahhh

sameeee!!

i 100% will do the same XD
I have so many books I need to read!!

some great ideas here - particularly love reading a book published the year you were born.
was thinking other themes similar to colour covers could also be
* book titles that mention animals
* book titles that mention numbers
* read books through the alphabet - so 1st title starts with A, then B. do this for a month and see what letter you got up to.

and of course the themed writers by month they are celebrated - LGBTQ month, Black history month, halloween, christmas etc..

also thought - how about a secret Santa but with authors? so we all give the name of our favourite author to the admin, the admin swaps them all around and we are given someone else's author to read.

wow, those are awesome ideas Sarah!!!

1 - read a translated work!
2 - read a book from a genre that you've never really explored before
3 - read a book that's been on your tbr for over six months
4 - read three books by authors of color from different countries!

1. Read books that have been published before 2018 AND are already on your TBR list or pile.
2. Read books being made into movies or tv series.
3. Read one award winning book.
4. Read a mystery book.
5. Each month has a fairytale assigned to it, and you can choose any retelling of that fairytale to read , or read the original fairytale

Wow these are amazing

Woww

Wow I just read the newsletter and spooky things are my weakness. I might not resist that challenge
