I have loved this challenge since it began 6 or 7 years ago. Perusing the library shelves is fun and I find alot of good books and authors from doing so. It saves money too! Nothing bad about that. I am downsizing my personal challenge in 2023 because I am still skittish about COVID-19. Normally I would take the top level challenge of 60 books per year. However, in 2023 I am signing up at the Thrifty Reader level which requires that 24 library books be read and reviewed. I may not even begin the challenge until Spring because infection rates have climbed this month in my state.
Runs: January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022. You can join anytime. The sign-up will remain open until Dec. 31st, 2022.
The goal is to find your love of your local library and to read at least twelve (12) books from the library, but you can read more. While twelve is the minimum; there is no maximum limit. See the different levels below and pick the one that works best for you.
Any format will work for this challenge (prints, ebooks, or audios); as long as you checked it out from the library, it counts.
Books can be any genre (fiction, nonfiction, romance, fantasy, mystery, thriller, horror, etc.).
Crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed, including re-reads. The goal is to support your local library and save money.
You do not have to be a book blogger to participate; you can track your progress on Goodreads, Facebook, LibraryThing, etc.
If you’re a blogger grab the button and do a quick post about the challenge to help spread the word. If you’re not a blogger you can help by posting on Facebook or Tweet about the challenge. Please link back to both hosts: Angel’s Guilty Pleasures & Books of My Heart.
As an added bonus: The challenge hosts are offering up FOUR GIVEAWAYS plus a few surprise giveaways throughout the year (2022) with this Challenge. The main giveaways will be posted for (Jan., Feb., & March), (April, May, & June), (July, Aug., & Sept.), & last (Oct., Nov., & Dec.). A linky will go up on both Angel’s Guilty Pleasures and Books of My Heart; where you can leave your links for the reviews on your library books you have read. So make sure to stop by to enter. More details in the giveaway section below.
(Optional) Reviews: Write a review to enter the giveaway – 2 sentences or an essay, whatever works for you, but there is a minimum of 2 sentences. Not sure what to write? How about something like, “The plot was a delight, but the characters didn’t capture me.” “I enjoyed the story and really liked the characters.”
