Nothing But Reading Challenges discussion

This is the 1st level of this challenge.

If you can commit to read at least a hundred books in 2021, welcome. The challenge will consist of five levels, each level will require you to read more books!

Level 1: 1 - 100 books
Level 2: 101 - 250 books
Level 3: 251 - 500 books
Level 4: 501 - 1000 books
Level 5: 1001 - infinity!

So, once you complete your first hundred, you may advance to the next level.

Just create your list of books (at this level, label them 1 through 100) and mark them off with a strike through or a check-mark them as you finish. If you find you can't finish one of the books on your list for any reason, you may replace it with another.

Also, if you just want to decide what you read as you go you can do that as well. Since this challenge is for the year 2021 any books you've read this year may be included.

This is a free choice challenge. Read whatever you want.
