2017 Reading Challenge discussion

Everyone agrees that some of this year's categories were pretty difficult. However, there were some pretty good categories too. This vote will be a little different.

If you want all new categories, leave a comment saying so.

If you'd like to repeat categories, tell us your top three from this year.


Go!

And thanks again, Anne! :-)

Categories I would like to repeat:
1. Published this year (which will be 2016 then of course)
2. Own but never read
3. Pullitzer prize winning

The top 3 categories I'd like to repeat are:

- Originally written in a different language
- Published this year (2016)
- Based entirely on the cover

This was tough!! My top 3 were:
- A nonfiction book
- A Book you own but have never read
- A Book based entirely on it's cover

There are lots of good categories in this year's challenge. My 3 favourite are :
- A book with more than 500 pages
- A non-fiction book
- A book you can finish in a day

Those categories pushed me to pick up books I would have left on the library shelves otherwise.

All new categories!

I liked:

Publish this year
A book based entirely on its cover
A book by an author you never read before


Some of the others were fun...but, it seems like a once kind of deal. The challenge has gone out of them. These are ones I feel can be done every year, and not lose the scavenger hunt part of it.

I think a lot of this year's categories could be used for the next challenge, but my favorites this year and that I would like to do again are

1. Book chosen by it's cover
2. Published this year
3. Book you own but have never read

Graphic novel
Based on cover
One word title

I'd like some repeats. My top 3 were:

1. A book that became a movie
2. A book with a one-word title
3. A Pulitzer Prize-winning book

1. One word title
2. Book you own but never read
3. Cover

1. A popular authors first book.
2. A book set in the future.
3. A trilogy(I have a hard time finishing series. This made me commit)

2. Book by an author you've never read before
3. Book based on a true story
