2016 Reading Challenge

My post last week recapped the books I’ve read in 2015. In that post, I was excited to try to reach my goal of a book a week for 2016. With that in mind, I’ve created a reading challenge because I think they’re fun. I’ve based it on the alphabet =). Here it is:

• Read a book with Animal characters.
• Read a book by a best-selling British author.
• Read a book with Cooking in it.
• Read a Dystopian book.
• Read a book with a character who’s an Engineer.
• Read a book about Freedom.
• Read a book about a Gift. Alternatively, read a book you received as a Gift.
• Read a book about a character with memorable Hair.
• Read a book where a character is Innocent.
• Read a book written by an author whose name begins with J (first or last).
• Read a book a King has read.
• Read a book with a Long title (more than five words).
• Read a book your Mother recommends.
• Read a book by an author you’ve Never read before.
• Read a book that has a character crossing an Ocean.
• Read a book Published in 2016 and one Published the year you were 16.
• Read a book about a Quest.
• Read a book Recommended by your friend.
• Read a book about a Spy.
• Read a book about Time Travel.
• Read an Urban fantasy book.
• Read a book written by a military Veteran.
• Read a book written by a mighty Woman.
• Read a book with a Yellow cover.
• Read a book about a Zoo.

That’s doable, right? And I get 20 or so additional slots to fill with whatever I want. It’s going to be a great reading year, I can feel it. If you’d like to suggest any books, I love recommendations =).

(When I say, ‘a book about . . . ‘ I mean it can be fiction or non-fiction. For example, I can read a book about a zoo, or read a fiction book that has a zoo as a setting.)
