Blagica  | 12941 comments MARATHON CHALLENGE
Duration: January 1 - January 31, 2021


This is such a hit every year, that we thought we would kick off the year again with a running start! How often is it our New Year's Resolution to read more books? How many of us set goals higher than we did last year? How many of us want to read that super long classic that has been sitting on our bookshelf collecting dust, or spend a winter day curled up on the couch with a pile of graphic novels? Let's start 2021 with a marathon of reading!

Pick a pile of books that you feel you could snuggle up with: a nice over-500-page book, a stack of books under 100 pages, or those books that have been on your TBR list for way too long. Anything you choose is fair game!

This is not a sprint, but a way to spend January in the pages! Pick the number of pages or books you would like to read in January and post them below. The goal is to make fast progress on your reading goals in the New Year. Who would have thought that you could do a marathon by hurrying up and sitting with a book?

I’ll be cheering you along and helping you get off to a running start!

TerryJane | 4020 comments MARATHON CHALLENGE - Monthly Challenge
Duration: January 1 - January 31, 2021
Progress: 16/16 -- COMPLETE


In January, I plan to read two local book club choices, ten titles for the New Year's Resolution challenge, the group BOM, and hopefully the rest of Nevada Barr's Anna Pigeon mysteries. Anna is a National Park Ranger in the US. I've enjoyed re-visiting some parks with her, as well as learning about others I hope to visit one day. The author is a former ranger, so they feel very authentic.

🏃‍♀️ The Happiness Project: Or Why I Spent a Year Trying to Sing in the Morning, Clean My Closets, Fight Right, Read Aristotle, and Generally Have More Fun
