Well done on your challenges! I always have the best of intentions when it comes to them but I think I sign up for too many haha.

That’s awesome, Susan. Good for you!

May you rock your 2024 reading challenges as well.

Here is my Top Ten Tuesday post.

Congrats for killing this year's challenges! Some of the ones you listed look amazing. I've joined a few already and I'm having a hard time reining myself in and not going crazy joining them all!

I haven't done one of these in years but really used to like them. I am totally taken by that "toe-tag" challenge you mention because it gives me yet another thing to count and keep track of...I love lists and year-to-year comparisons and that might generate a really interesting statistic over time. Can you imagine spotting a trend within over a number of years that the body count in today's mysteries or less than those of ten years ago, or twenty years ago. Or that your favorite series is lightening up on dead bodies as the main character and author age together? I'm totally obsessive about numbers, so this is going to be hard to resist. LOL

I love challenges. The problem is I take them too seriously!! Then, I get ARCs and before I know it I feel bogged down with all that I "have" to read. I know, I need to loosen up, lol. As of this moment, I plan NOT to do reading challenges next year...I said that last year as well and then did four this year, plus finished one from last year...I will always do the Goodreads Reading challenge, and I *might* read 24 in 2024...we'll see, LOL!

And, I will miss your reading challenges page, it was the one I always went to, thanks for doing it!! :)

Oof, that's a lot of challenges! 👀 Good luck!

My TTT.

Congratulations on your challenges!

12 challenges? You are awesome. I'm hoping to accomplish three next year. 😀

That's a lot of challenges but I guess there will be some overlap. Good luck! I only do GoodReads and Twenty Books of Summer usually.

Brilliant post! I love reading challenges and always join at least a few. I'm still mulling over which to do for 2024 though, so this was really helpful!

Wow that's a lot of challenges! Hope you have fun taking part!

This is a lot of challenges, but it seems like you will succeed again! I did three challenges this year, but I think next year I'm taking it easy and only doing one or two. Good luck!

Wow, that's very ambitious! I really don't do challenges, other than the Goodreads annual reading challenge, but I know so many people who love them. Good luck!

I have some long-term, no-end-date reading challenges, but I'm not planning on signing up for any in 2024. Probably. ;-) One of my blog friends has done a picture prompt challenge in the past, and if that happens again for 2024 I might join it this time. But otherwise I'm planning to mood read for 2024!

Thanks for stopping by my TTT earlier!

Great list, I used to do challenges but have left them be in last few years. I was just looking at the 52 books challenge a few weeks ago and that looks interesting. I didn't know Goodreads had challenges!

Good luck with all of your challenges. I used to partake in a few in a GR group I was in, but that group has kind of fallen apart. Now, I guess I just do the GR challenge and focus on reading the books I purchase or request.

I am joining up on some of these challenges, too, woohoo! And I didn't know that Goodreads had challenges on their site. Now to go find more LMAO!!!

Wow, I had no idea there were so many challenges! I take part in the Goodreads/Storygraph challenge each year but that is it. The US states sounds fun :)

I should really get back into challenges. I liked doing them (except when I failed haha). But the states one and the cozy one have me really tempted...

I'll have to check some of these out! I love reading challenges - they really help when the reading slump wants to take over. Thanks for sharing!

It's always fun to see what reading challenges you do each year. And I've loved participating in your Bookish Books challenge this year! Thanks for doing it. :D

This is SO impressive! I haven't even tried one challenge (ever) and don't think I've read 200 books in a year either. I always admire those readers who can read SO many books in a year. :) Good for you. Thanks so much for visiting my website today.

I like the idea of challenges, but I don't always have the time to fulfill them. I just completed your Bookish Books challenge by reading the minimum, 10, so yay! I'll have to link up when I write my review. Good luck on all your challenges! Literary Escapes sounds like a fun one!

A great list! Well done you on your achievements! I would love to do a challenge or two, but I get so distracted by Blog Tours that I don't have a lot of scope for anything else. It doesn't help that I am a slow reader and have to read every word and understand everything that is going on before moving on!

Have a great week!

Other than Goodreads, I never officially join any reading challenges or talk about them, but I have a list on a Google Sheet to try to keep track. It's such a fun way to make reading a little bit of a challenge :)

There are some fun ones up there. A good mix too.

You participate in a lot of challenges. I did, too, last year, but I'm not sure if I want to participate in so many next year. Still the Bookish Books Reading Challenge is sure calling to me!

Good luck with the challenges! There's so many that sound interesting and that I knew nothing about before this post.

These all sound so interesting, and you did such a good job with finishing them! I did three challenges this year, and only finished one of them. But at least I'll have another chance to work on them next year, right?

I am so glad to have you back on board for the Historical Fiction Reading Challenge this year! I am contemplating doing one other challenge next year, but I am not sure which!!

Oh no, I'm doomed. XD I'm such a sucker for reading challenges!

I love prompt based challenges too so I'm looking at the challenges you shared. I do the state one in an unofficial way. It's always interesting to see where I naturally drift to in my reading.

i am bad with challenges though i try to join in each year.. not that i don't read enough but the keeping track of it gets away from me.. but i am tempted to join your challenge..
My post is here

Many great sounding challenges! I always do the goodreads challenge too. I never once managed to finish the popsugar ones in the years that I did it so I just kind of stopped. Awesome that you managed to complete it this year.

Great job with your challenges! I'm pretty sure I'm going to fail all mine this year.

Good luck with all these challenges and congrats on reaching all your 2023 ones! I only do the Goodreads challenge. I do love the idea of challenges, but I'm terrible at completing them :)
