- Books can be any format (print, ebook, audio)
- Books can be fiction or non-fiction; and all genres/age-range are allowed
- Books can be of any publication date.

This is also my first post of the year and my first post towards the Ultimate Blogging Challenge. This is one of my favorite blogging challenges to take part in, mainly because of the wonderful blogging community and friends I have made in blogland…

Interesting reading challenge. I will have to see if I can do it or not. I have a lot planned for the upcoming year. I did bookmark this page.
Thank you Brenda.. will work on my Liebster post soon and I have one more reading challenge posted today – you can check it that might work for you -http://www.ladyinreadwrites.com/continental-reading-challenge-2018/
What a great way to bring reading back! My plate is so full but I just may give this a try!
LOVE this idea!!!!! This is so great!! I’ve been dying to read more and this is such a creative idea. I don’t know if I’ll be able to do it for the entire year because I have a lot of work and school, but definetely will try out in the summer. Thank you for this!
You can check out the other reading challenge I have as well and pick either one or both as it works for you, Aarti!!

Neat idea! I feel sure I will read more than one book a month because I love to read, but I do wonder if I could match it up the way the challenge requires. Seems like it would be fun to try, though! Nice to see you again.
I would easily join your challenge, but I have my own list of books to read- and they don’t fit your categories. (My problem is that I still have 14 books left from 2017 list!!!)
Roy, you could pick your keyword for the month too!! the examples I provided are just the more popular words associated with the month.. and I also have the continental reading challenge in my next post.. 🙂 and would love to have your list of reading too to expand/diversify my own.
