A Book Challenge I’ll Pass On

At Rural Revolution, Patrice Lewis is going to participate in a 52 book challenge this year:

This is a list of 52 books (50 categories, but one of the categories is a trilogy) to be read over the next 52 weeks. Older Daughter got it in her head to accept this challenge and managed to talk the rest of us (Younger Daughter, our friend GG, and myself) into participating as well.

She includes the list of categories as well as books she has selected for each category.

I’d play along, but I’m more fluid in my reading choices. I don’t tend to plan ahead, and I don’t generally know what I’m going to read next.

I’m also not sold on the categories, such as a woman author, an author under 30, a book published this year…. I’m not against any of them, but I can’t promise I’ll read anything like that in 2015.

(Also note the Lewises have a library of 5000+ books. You know what we call a library of 5000 books at Nogglestead? “If my beautiful wife had her way and decluttered.” As a reminder, you can see the library at Nogglestead ca 2010 here. In 2015, we don’t have any additional shelving, but we do have more books piled atop the additional shelving.)

1 thought on “A Book Challenge I’ll Pass On

  1. I plan to read this year 12 scholarly books that support my career. Depending on some conversations that I’m planning in the near future, the selections will be in either the humanities or educational psychology. I hope to also finish my Ninja High School comics collection this year and read the new Marko Kloos novel. Other than that, I’m going to be fluid, too.

    The 52 book challenge sounds interesting, but it’s not for me.
