I, honestly admit, I have a slight confession,… I am hereby addicted to reading challenges, Reading Challenge Addict badge created by Jorie in Canvaread-a-thons, read-a-longs, and other blogsphere community reading events! Yes. I, Jorie, of Jorie Loves A Story, have an addiction to reading! And, of daring myself to tackle one more ‘challenge’, despite already being committed to another already in-progress! I have discovered today, that I am NOT alone. Nor am I the only one PROUD of this affliction. Look for our ‘badge of honour’ to find us! OR, click to join, if you find your afflicted too!

I created a running list of all the particulars of each challenge or reading event that I take on under my *RALs & Challenges* page!! However, for the sake of declaring just how much of an addict I am in this regard, I shall list them in order of participation:

70 Authors Challenge: A Personal Challenge I created for myself to read 70 Authors in 24 months time; focusing on 1-5 books per author! Technically, this won’t count until the 2015 Tally, as it concludes in August 2015! Originally scheduled to be a challenge in 12 months, but I have re-considered this and extended it to two full years!

  1. Sci-Fi Experience: Declaration of Intent;
  2. The Classics Club: Year 1: tCC Master List
  3. Wuthering Heights Readalong: Declaration of Intent
  4. Bout of Books, 9.0: Declaration of Participation; Goals of the Bout; Day 1, Day 2, Day 3, Day 4, Concluding Thoughts
  5. Jane Austen Reading Challenge: Declaration of Intent
  6. 2014 TBR Pile Challenge: Declaration of Intent
  7. Rewind Challenge: Declaration of Intent
  8. William Shakespare Challenge: Declaration of Intent
  9. A Year of Re-Reading: Declaration of Intent
  10. Back to the Classics Challenge: Declaration of Intent
  11. Serious Series Reading Challenge: Declaration of Intent
  12. 100 Books in a Year Reading Challenge: Declaration of Intent
  13. War & Peace Book Club: Declaration of Intent
  14. Banned Books Week: late September / early October

Reflections After the Fact: {work in progress!}

Reading Challenge Addict is hosted by Bev of My Readers Block. Originally inspired into being by Cheryl of CMash Loves to Read & Gina of Hott Books! You have until 30 November 2013 to add your declaration post to count in the tally for the year! The way in which you know your such a reader is by noting the following:

  • Easy as Pie: {1-5 Challenges, entered + completed}
  • On the Roof: {6-10 Challenges, entered + completed}
  • In Flight: {11-15 Challenges, entered + completed}
  • Out of This World: 16+ Challenges, entered + completed}

From August to December 2013, I attempted like mad to achieve “On the Roof” status in this lovely Challenge! However, the hours elapsed far faster than my ability to read & complete the challenges prior to the beginning of 2014! Therefore, I am not only finishing! the previous challenges, but I am starting anew in 2014 with a clean slate as well! :) Follow my crazy-adventure as one girl inspires herself to read and dare to explore the intriguing worlds that each book leaves me in wanton for more! :)

What about you!? Are you addicted and afflicted by reading, too!!??!

About jorielov

I am self-educated through local libraries and alternative education opportunities. I am a writer by trade and I cured a ten-year writer’s block by the discovery of Nanowrimo in November 2008. The event changed my life by re-establishing my muse and solidifying my path. Five years later whilst exploring the bookish blogosphere I decided to become a book blogger. I am a champion of wordsmiths who evoke a visceral experience in narrative. I write comprehensive book showcases electing to get into the heart of my reading observations. I dance through genres seeking literary enlightenment and enchantment. Starting in Autumn 2013 I became a blog book tour hostess featuring books and authors. I joined The Classics Club in January 2014 to seek out appreciators of the timeless works of literature whose breadth of scope and voice resonate with us all.

"I write my heart out and own my writing after it has spilt out of the pen." - self quote (Jorie of Jorie Loves A Story)
