It's that time of year again to join all the reading challenges and to get excited about the next reading year! It's truly not hard at all to wish 2020 good riddance...blech. I've seen this challenge before but have never joined. I'm terrible at reading challenges. I forget usually and never work on my categories or books I've chosen. I'm a choose as the mood takes me kind of reader. But these categories look fabulous. I'd like to hone in some of my nonfiction reading and this will (hopefully) help me out this year!
The 2021 Nonfiction Challenge will be hosted over at Book'd Out. All. Check out the site for more details.
My goal is the Nonfiction Know-it-all! I love nonfiction and about half or sometimes more of my reading year is usually nonfiction. The key will be dipping into each category. I'm going to make a tentative list soon and post it later. But I am looking forward to expanding my nonfiction reading horizons in 2021!
My updated tentative list for the challenge.
The aim of the Nonfiction Reader Challenge is to encourage you to make nonfiction part of your reading experience during the year.

ReplyDeleteYou too! It'll be fun to choose from the categories and hone in my non-fiction reading.
DeleteYeah it's a good challenge. I did it last year ... but was just like a nipper .... I need to raise my nonfiction this coming year.
ReplyDeleteWe shall see how far I get. Sometimes it can be harder with categories involved. But hopefully it'll expand my nonfiction reading this year!
DeleteI signed up for this in 2020 and did diddly, lol. I had the best of intentions, but like a lot of things this year it got neglected and then forgotten. It's such a great challege!
