This is the last challenge that I signed up for. Because I absolutely, positively couldn’t resist this one.
After all, I started writing book reviews because I love to read, and I wanted to share that love. But one of the things that happened was that I ended up reading a lot of books that I had committed myself to, and not as many books “just because”.
Not that I have not enjoyed the books I’ve picked out to review. Far from it.
After all, I only choose books I think I’m going to like. Occasionally I’m wrong.
Sometimes I’m really, really wrong. (The Windup Girl comes to mind)
Lori at Escape with Dollycas into a Good Book is hosting the Just for Fun Reading Challenge this year on Goodreads. The challenge is really simple. Every month, I get to, not have to, but get to, read one book just for fun. Not because I’ve committed to review it, but just because I want to read it. Just for me.
This doesn’t mean I can’t review it after I’ve read it. I probably will, if only to keep track of what I’ve read. And I’m allowed to count it toward one other challenge. So if I drag something out of the back of beyond (my TBR from hell pile), I can count it for that. But the idea is to read a book I just want to read.
Oh goodie! Just try and stop me.
