It seems I can’t say no now I’ve started up on the challenge scene *lol
Here’s the latest one:
Series Challenge Season 2
This challenge is being hosted by Kathrin at Crazy Cozy Murders – and requires participants to read an entire series between June 1 and November 30.
I’ve been itching to re-read the Anne of Green Gables series ever since I found out there were two books at the end I’d never read. So I will be reading:
- Anne of Green Gables
- Anne of the Island
- Anne of Avonlea
- Anne of Windy Poplars
- Anne’s House of Dreams
- Anne of Ingleside
- Rainbow Valley
- Rilla of Ingleside
I can’t wait to reacquaint myself with Anne and Gilbert!
The Challenge TBR Planner
I suddenly realised that I was going to have to start juggling challenge books and needed a plan of what to read when – so I have created a TBR Challenge Planner! Given that I usually average four books a month I’m going to have a busy six months ahead if I’m going to keep up. Luckily I have been picking challenges that suit the books on my TBR shelf *lol*
A well rounded challenge
Of course now I’ve done some planning I feel able to enter the well rounded challenge:
- June: Something Borrowed – for Chick Lit
- July: Wuthering Heights – for Classics
- August: Secret of Lost Things – for I heard it through the grapevine
- September: Half of a Yellow Sun – for Tl;Dr
- October: Rainbow Valley – for the series challenge
- November: The Sound of Butterflies – for the Pub

*lol* I don’t like choosing books in advance but I figured if I didn’t map them out I’d never get the challenges done! I’m hoping to fit some more books in around the challenge ones…
Get you with your running list – mine are just on a book shelf!
So how many books are in that running list then?
Look at you and your fancy planner!! I keep a running list of all the books I need to read in an excel spreadsheet–I used to plan month to month but found that I’m a mood reader and don’t like HAVING to read this book this month. That works out pretty well except December comes around.
All the books I’ve been putting off usually have to be finished that month to meet challenge deadlines. Wow…probably too much info.
Have a great time with the challenges!
