I'm interested in seeing how people rate the books they read for a challenge. Especially when I'm looking for a book in a specific category...it's nice to see books that people really liked, as opposed to "don't bother picking up."
I've gotten bored with most challenges, so I think I'll add my own little twist. I like that the idea is to read something completely different than normal, so I'll start there. My "norm" is romance in most genres, second by paranormal. So, I will challenge myself to read outside my norm & replace any of those that sneak in (required category* & stretched**i.e., suspense w/smidge of romance) after completing the challenge.
Update: my overall reading dropped 64% (have read 1/3 normal amount), my non-fiction reading increased 200% (doubled). I read 48 new (to me) authors. I completed the challenge in September (one holdover, intermitent nonfiction reading & one switched in Oct). I have decided to relax & read norms for rest of year (though I did find a romance challenge to join). I am satisfied with my effort to choose books outside my norm.
