I don't do too many but Goodreads is definitely my long-term challenge, I update it so it's not a case of, "Ah. I'm done!" until the VERY end (:AwesomeAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412663427792021745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784349484087825912.post-61840899413979769102013-05-11T23:14:35.585+01:002013-05-11T23:14:35.585+01:00I do goodreads too!

They're kind of hard to keep up with. ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15807067899421221523noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784349484087825912.post-48212933897927504752013-05-09T18:39:20.566+01:002013-05-09T18:39:20.566+01:00Disclaimer: This week (and most) Thursday's my...Disclaimer: This week (and most) Thursday's my free night so here I am!<br /><br />@Rose: Did you increase your Goodreads Challenge then like I sometimes do?<br /><br />@moonlight: I think there is a risk challenges will stop you being free but if I felt like that I'd break free XD<br /><br />@Trish: I do know of your challenge :P Classics don't come naturally to many, do they? :L<br /><br />@Pam: Thanks! I think without crossovers it'd seem more like just about a number you read. This challenge + this one & so on. Gah, could I cope? Nu-uh.<br /><br />@Karen: That's a pity- Goodreads is no doubt the most popular "challenge".<br /><br />@Florentine: It shouldn't be too competitive, a bit is healthy XD That quote is totally stolen though- I've heard it so much!<br /><br />@Megan: Ah, I wish I'd read this before yesterday's post. I feel really evil now XD I like to challenge myself little by little in addition if the challenges themselves aren't too time-consuming/restricting. I do it even when I don't really have time to read so you could call it an addiction :P I know I don't read as much as some, like you! 3 a week? Yikes. I feel less evil now actually...<br />Manic Monday's sound cool *keeps eyes peeled*AwesomeAmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06412663427792021745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784349484087825912.post-23781911069870304832013-05-07T01:54:09.514+01:002013-05-07T01:54:09.514+01:00I have never joined a challenge, well unless you c...I have never joined a challenge, well unless you consider Book-it from elementary school a challenge!! I like to have freedom in my reading and while I often read two or three books a week sometimes. I think with a challenge I would push myself too much and probably turn my dirty little reading vice into a full blown addiction. Bring on the padded room!! I have started Manic Monday's on my blog that forces me to read one extra book outside of my TBR list. It also showcases a new Indie author every week, gets my readers involved in who wins and lets the author have a moment to shine. <br /><br />www.turnthepagebookblog.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10875848807994026365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784349484087825912.post-71290937429197064592013-05-06T22:19:48.698+01:002013-05-06T22:19:48.698+01:00I believe sometimes readers accept more things als...I believe sometimes readers accept more things also with the pressure of perhaps the competition around them (aka other book bloggers). I try not to make myself crazy about it, but sometimes catch my stressing about trying to finish a book for an author as soon as possible. I think this is bad, and you should enjoy the book rather than rushing through it :)<br /><br />"Just keep reaching for the moon, you'll land among the stars"<br />- I love that!!<br /><br />Florentine @ <a href="http://readiculously-peachy.blogspot.co.uk" rel="nofollow">Readiculously Peachy</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16310114595444287383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784349484087825912.post-26993053783611955012013-05-06T17:11:04.709+01:002013-05-06T17:11:04.709+01:00I tried picking challenges where I was already rea...I tried picking challenges where I was already reading that type of book but as soon as I joined I stopped reading that genre lol<br /><br />The Goodreads one is about right for me.

I also like it when books crossover into more than 1 challenge. I love what you said about it being impossible to "fail" a reading challenge.

It's only 6 books a year though.<br /><br />Apart from that I read for fun, entertainment and stress relief so I don't want to start putting myself under pressure to read x amount of books. I don't really need to anyway, reading is a natural to me as breathing!<br /><br /><a href="http://betweenthelinesisanendlessstory.blogspot.ie/" rel="nofollow">BookishTrish @ Between the Lines</a>Trish @ Between My Lineshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08517849083417759188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8784349484087825912.post-24788347370192053302013-05-06T12:06:32.908+01:002013-05-06T12:06:32.908+01:00I'm not really into challenges because I think...I'm not really into challenges because I think they would be restricting - I like the complete and total freedom of no challenges.
