Here I will document the reading challenges that I want to participate in :)
Happy Reading!

2019 Hoarders Challenge

Challenges & Books I plan to read:

1. Book that has been on your TBR list the longest:

I have this one on my list since 2012, oh my! It's about time to read it.

2. Book from a physical stash somewhere in your house


3. Book you got for free

4. Book you gave up on but promised to try again and finish this time

I read around 30% of this book and I actually really liked it! I don't really know what happened, I guess I was overwhelmed by the page number. That must also have been around 2012/2013. Let's finish this one!

5. Book recommended by a friend


6. Book from BOTM selection you missed

7. Book from a series you abandoned



8. Book classic you got and never opened



9. Book that is in the 1-99 that is on your TBR list (virtual list here on goodreads)


10. Book that is/was assigned in school that you never really "read" - SKIMMING DOESNT COUNT!

Die Welle
I actually really loved to read assigned books in school. Even if they were hard or boring, I always had the motivation to finish them, since we talked about them in class, wrote papers on them etc. So as far as I can remember I really did read all of them. I googled books that are read in school and picked this one instead, since we did not read this in school but I am curious about it.

Books I finished reading:
