1/12 ? What’s that?

Do you remember a childhood story called ‘ 7 in one blow’ ?

If I recollect correctly, this was the Grimm’s fairy tale of a tailor  who boasted that he could swat 7 at one blow! No one knew that he was referring to flies rather than men and ultimately the tailor married a princess. 

I very foolishly agreed to read 12 books in ONE YEAR or 1 in 12 months.

2016 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge

Last year I had signed up for Corinne’s Reading Challenge but by the middle of  March I’d already given up. And pray what had I pledged to read? A mere 12 books a year or one book a month. That seems easy enough.

I think I may have managed reading more( which  is a real shame for a self avowed book lover and former book worm) but as I write this post I can only remember reading about half a dozen……..

2017 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge

So:

This year, I, Bellybytes, do solemnly pledge to read 24 books this year.

I will make it a point to not only read the book but also do a review so as to maintain a record.

These book reviews will also include those books I’ve read as a reviewer for Blogadda.

And for all of you who are up for  this challenge do sign up at Corinne’s EverydayGyaan.

You do not have to be a blogger to participate; you can track your progress on Goodreads, LibraryThing, BookLikes, etc., so as long as you have a dedicated shelf for the 2017 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge and your profile is not private. The point of linking up is to have a place where people can see what you’re reading.

Levels:

Getting My Heart Rate Up: read 1–5 more books (or 250–1,499 more pages)
Out of Breath: read 6–10 more books (or 1,500–2,749 more pages)
Breaking a Sweat: read 11–15 more books (or 2,750–3,999 more pages)
I’m on Fire!: read 16+ more books (or 4,000+ more pages)

Happy reading and Happy New Year !
