We're in our last month of 2021, and anyone with unfinished yearly reading goals is realizing just how much or how little they have time left to read this year.
This month's between-readathons reading game is reading relays.

To play this game, pick several books (I usually pick 5 or 6) and post them on your For the Blogless thread or wherever you like to keep track.

Example:
Twilight
The Catcher in the Rye
Simple Prayers

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1) by Stephenie Meyer The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger Simple Prayers by Michael Golding

Focus on reading the books in this small stack/list. When you finish one, you get to swap in a new book and post an update in your thread.

Example:
Twilight
The Catcher in the Rye
Marcovaldo

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, #1) by Stephenie Meyer The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger Marcovaldo by Italo Calvino

Finished:
Simple Prayers

Simple Prayers by Michael Golding

You can select books at random, or make categories (Twilight might go with other YA books, Catcher in the Rye with other classics, Simple Prayers with other literary fiction, etc) to decide which books get added as you finish the ones in your active list/stack.
This game is great when you are having a hard time focusing on books long enough to finish them, or when you want a more visible sense of accomplishment, since over time the Finished section gets bigger.

See how many books you can finish and swap out by the end of the year.
