Joining a Reading Challenge (Better Late Than Never!)

A few years ago I slumped into a rut where I wasn’t reading much. I was recently divorced and suddenly a single mom to two young boys. I worked full time. And I decided then, of all times, was the best time to go back to school and start working on my master’s. Needless to say I didn’t have much spare time on my hands.

Now fast forward to today; my kids are a bit older, my book blog is finally launched, and I’ve recently turned 30 so I’m all about improving myself and getting back to doing what I love… reading. And while it’s not January, I’m jumping into a book challenge to not only give me a goal but to expand my literary palate.

The challenge I decided to join is by Reading Women.

Here are the books I’ve selected from each category, thanks to some assistance from The StoryGraph!

1. By an author from the Caribbean or India

2. Translated from an Asian language

3. About the environment

4. Picture book by a BIPOC author

5. Stella or Women’s Prize winner

6. Nonfiction by a woman historian

7. Afrofuturism or Africanfuturism

8. Anthology by multiple authors

9. Inspired by folklore

10. About a woman artist

11. Read and watch a book-to-movie adaption

12. About a woman who inspires you

13. About an Arab woman

14. Set in Japan, or by a Japanese author

15. A biography

16. Featuring a woman with a disability

17. Over 500 pages

(I had originally chosen The Historian but changed my mind a couple days later as I was needing some more KH in my life.)

18. Under 100 pages

19. Frequently recommended to me

20. A feel-good or happy book

21. About food

22. By a favorite or new-to-me publisher

23. By an LGBTQ+ author

24. From the 2019 Reading Women Award Shortlists or Honorable Mentions

25. By Toni Morrison

26. By Isabel Allende

I’m quite excited about this because there are a few books on here I would never have chosen to read on my own.

I’d love to hear what your experience with reading challenges has been so leave a comment below!
