Good luck with your reading challenges this year! Looks like we are doing 3 together. 🙂 I set my 2021 Goodreads Challenge to match the age my daughter will be this coming year. My hope is to complete it by the end of February at the latest. LOL

Great challenges! Good luck with them all. I’m only doing the Goodreads one this year and setting a target of just 48. The only other one I’m contemplating is the Unread Shelf because my TBR piles are out of control!

We’re doing a few of the same challenges this year – I’m determined to complete your Nonfiction challenge this year (I fell one short last year), and I’ve already worked out possibilities for each category.

We’ve got a couple of overlap challenges this year. It will be fun to see what books you choose so I get new ideas.

200 books?! You are my reading hero 🙂 I have only signed up for your nonfiction challenge and Marg’s historical fiction challenge. I have bene tempted to sign up again for the Aussie one and haven;t done the Australian Women’s challenge but thats intriguing. My trouble for some Australian books is getting access to some titles. I’m still waiting on the Chris Hammer book Silver!

It’s silly that accessibility is still a thing, given the ease with which ebooks could be available in libraries.

I will be signing up for your nonfiction challenge soon. That will probably be the one that is the hardest for me. I also plan to sign up for the Cloak and Dagger Challenge and the Historical Fiction Challenge.

These challenges look great, I keep trying to browse around and pick some, but most of the lists I’ve found have been too overwhelming. I’ll probably join Books in Translation Reading Challenge, as reading 6 translated books in 2020 was a goal I didn’t reach.

Good luck with all your challenges! I have decided to be challenge-free this year, as I need to focus on reading my own books as much as possible. But I guess THAT’s my challenge!
