Kristel's Reading Life in Lists

Dic 2, 2020, 7:49 pm



Welcome to my 2021 category challenge. I have been doing this challenge since 2015. That makes this my 6th year. I live in the Midwest/US and I am mostly retired. I still work about 16 hours a week though next year I hope to cut back even more. This year I am embracing the planning and not holding myself to the actual completion of my plan. I find I read slower now which I think is an age thing; the eyes aren’t what they used to be and I fall asleep easier causing face plants by books.

Some of my favorite lists; Booker Prize, Pulitzer, 1001 Books, NPR Reader Poll: 100 Best Horror Novels and Stories, NPRs your picks: top 100 Sci-Fi/Fantasy books, Vulture's 100 Best Books of the 21st Century (So Far). I also am intrigued by the Rooster challenges but don't do that well at reading them. My goal this year will to work on reading from my own books and the focus will be to read books from these lists. I also like to support my library and have been so thankful that they were able to reopen and hope they can stay open.

>111 Kristelh: I'm glad to see this 4 star rating. I chose this one for ScaredyKIT (over another I was considering). I started it yesterday, but haven't gotten far. It's a LONG book, though! I am not very interested yet, so (although I almost never do this) I was considering switching for the other.

In part this would be due to the length (and that I got very little reading done this week with my parents visiting), but also since it was never on my tbr. I just chose it from a list.

I may still switch for the other one. We'll see.

>112 LibraryCin: It is way too long Cindy. I listened to audio which helps cause I can do other things but sitting and reading this book would be a chore. While I enjoyed it, it could have been a lot shorter. I liked the historical part and I liked the mythology but to press them together made the book kind of 2 books.

114LibraryCin
Ago 15, 2021, 3:38 pm

>113 Kristelh: I'm thinking now, I might set it aside for this time around, anyway. I'll read the other one for ScaredyKIT, but I might just add this to the tbr and get to it another time. Thank you!

Gen 1, 2022, 11:00 am

2021 was a year that I was pretty distracted and even tho I read for a lot of challenges/categories. I failed to record them anywhere but here. I hope I am more organized next year and keep up better.

I read 56 ROOTS
I finished the BINGO card
1001 Books, read 34 this year
Booker: read 3
Pulitzer: read 3
100SF: read 4 many are series so have more to go. It really is more than 100 when you add all the series in
100 Horror: read 3
21st Cannon (Vulture and guardian) read 4

I read over 100 books this year but I also was pretty isolated this past year so I may not have the same time for reading in 2022 but I am looking forward to continuing many of my lists and adding more goals such as the Asian author challenge.
