As you all know I am attempting the Goodreads Reading Challenge this year, and I hope to read a grand total of 50 books by the 31st December 2016.  I am a self-confessed book addict, but even for me this is a tall ask when I have a job, 2 children, a husband and a cat all vying for my attention.  I am however, giving it my best shot.

Whilst working my way through my rather large reading list, I regularly get distracted by other book challenges – mainly ones I discover on Pinterest (I am easily distracted and I do love Pinterest).  So I have decided to incorporate one of these challenges into my Goodreads Reading Challenge just to see if I can do it.  My chosen challenge is as follows;

• A book with more than 500 pages
• A classic romance
• A book that became a movie
• A book published this year
• A book with a number in the title
• A book written by someone under 30
• A book with non-human characters
• A funny book
• A book by a female author
• A mystery or thriller
• A book with a one-word title
• A book of short stories
• A book set in a different country
• A non-fiction book
• A popular author’s first book
• A book from an author you love but haven’t read yet
• A book a friend recommended
• A Pulitzer prize-winning book
• A book based on a true story
• A book at the bottom of your to-read list
• A book your mum loves
• A book that scares you
• A book more than 100 years old
• A book based entirely on its cover
• A book you were supposed to read at school but didn’t
• A memoir
• A book you can finish in a day
• A book with antonyms in the title
• A book set somewhere you’ve always wanted to visit
• A book that came out the year you were born
• A book with bad reviews
• A trilogy
• A book from your childhood
• A book with a love triangle
• A book set in the future
• A book set in high school
• A book with a colour in the title
• A book that made you cry
• A book with magic
• A graphic novel
• A book by an author you’ve never read before
• A book you own but have never read
• A book that takes place in your home town
• A book that was originally written in a different language
• A book set during Christmas
• A book written by an author with your same initials
• A play
• A banned book
• A book based on or turned into a tv show
• A book you started but never finished

This is a fairly scary looking challenge, although I should be able to start ticking some of these off soon – I shall keep you updated on my progress! Have you tried a reading challenge? How did you get on?
