Suomalainen lukupiiri discussion

Vielä on hyvää lukuaikaa vuodelle 2021 jäljellä, mutta on myös hyvä hetki alkaa pohtia ensi vuotta. Tänä vuonna sattumalta törmäsin ensimmäistä kertaa Book Riotin Read Harder -lukuhaasteeseen ja täytyy sanoa, että ihastuin haasteeseen. Omalla kohdallani haaste todella pisti epämukavuusalueelle ja lukemaan sellaista kirjallisuutta, mitä normaalisti ei lukulistalla ole. Vuonna 2022 on siis ihan pakko tarttua samaan haasteeseen. Vuoden 2022 haastelista on jo julkaistu ja se on tässä. Tarkemmin tietoa haasteesta löytyy netistä googlaamalla, jostain syystä Goodreadsin mielestä linkki viestissä ei ole sallittu.

Haastekohdat:
1. Read a biography of an author you admire.
2. Read a book set in a bookstore.
3. Read any book from the Women’s Prize shortlist/longlist/winner list.
4. Read a book in any genre by a POC that’s about joy and not trauma.
5. Read an anthology featuring diverse voices.
6. Read a nonfiction YA comic.
7. Read a romance where at least one of the protagonists is over 40.
8. Read a classic written by a POC.
9. Read the book that’s been on your TBR the longest.
10. Read a political thriller by a marginalized author (BIPOC, or LGBTQIA+).
11. Read a book with an asexual and/or aromantic main character.
12. Read an entire poetry collection.
13. Read an adventure story by a BIPOC author.
14. Read a book whose movie or TV adaptation you’ve seen (but haven’t read the book).
15. Read a new-to-you literary magazine (print or digital).
16. Read a book recommended by a friend with different reading tastes.
17. Read a memoir written by someone who is trans or nonbinary.
18. Read a “Best _ Writing of the year” book for a topic and year of your choice.
19. Read a horror novel by a BIPOC author.
20. Read an award-winning book from the year you were born.
21. Read a queer retelling of a classic of the canon, fairytale, folklore, or myth.
22. Read a history about a period you know little about.
23. Read a book by a disabled author.
24. Pick a challenge from any of the previous years’ challenges to repeat!

Tämä vaikuttaa kyllä mielenkiintoiselta! Voisin harkita Helmetin ohelle tätä vaikka haastekohtia tuleekin aika paljon.

Tämä oli kyllä hyvä haaste, itsekin pidin. En edes saa(nut) edellistä valmiiksi, mutta ei haitannut, kun kohdat yksittäisinäkin olivat jo antoisia. Uusi haaste näyttää vähän helpommalta kuin edellinen, enemmän sellainen mini-Popsugar, mutta hyvältä tämäkin näyttää! Tälle on myös oma aktiivinen Goodreads-ryhmä, joka oli kiperimpien haastekohtien kanssa varsin hyvä apu.
