It's time to sign up for the eighth annual Library Love Reading Challenge hosted by Angel’s Book Nook & Books of My Heart. I am not sure how I feel about participating in the challenge since the COVID-19 pandemic began. Before the pandemic, books that I took out from my library had an odor on them. It was probably incense or perfume but I cannot get the smell out of my mind and it is grossing me out. However, I retired during the past year and cannot expect to spend the same amount of money on books for my Kindle. I don't know whether I will participate if I sign up. It all depends on my gag reflex.
The Challenge Rules
1) The challenge runs January 1, 2024 – December 31, 2024. You can join anytime.
2) The goal is to read at least twelve (12) books from the library. While twelve is the minimum, there is no maximum limit. See the different levels below and pick the one that works best for you.
3) Any book format will work for this challenge (prints, ebooks, or audios) as long as you checked it out from the library, it counts.
4) Books can be any genre (fiction, nonfiction, romance, fantasy, mystery, thriller, horror, etc.).
5) Crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed, including re-reads. The goal is to support your local library and save money.
6) You do not have to be a book blogger to participate. You can track your progress on Goodreads, Facebook, LibraryThing, etc.
7) If you’re a blogger grab the challenge 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, Tweet, or Instagram about the challenge. Please link back to both hosts: Angel’s Book Nook & Books of My Heart
8) Reviews are optional. 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.”
9) Please use #LibraryLoveChallenge when sharing your reviews, library pictures, etc…
There are several levels for the challenge.
Dewey Decimal: Read 12 books
Thrifty Reader: Read 24 books
Overdrive Junkie: Read 36 books
Library Addict: Read 48 books
Library Card on Fire: Read 60+ books
I will try to complete the Dewey Decimal level but am not going to brow beat myself if that gag reflex acts up. It is what it is.
This looks like a lot of fun! I rarely buy books so this would be an easy one for me. We love our library system so much, and our librarians too!
