The Challenge: Read any non-fiction book(s), adult or young adult. That's it. You can choose anything. Memoirs? Yes. History? Yes. Travel? Yes. You get the idea? Absolutely anything that is classified as non-fiction counts for this challenge.
I always like levels in my challenges, so here are mine:
Dilettante--Read 1-5 non-fiction books
Explorer--Read 6-10
Seeker--Read 11-15
Master--Read 16-20
This challenge will last from January 1 to December 31, 2013. You can sign up anytime throughout the year.
I am not limiting the challenge to bloggers. You can also link to a review you wrote on another site, such as GoodReads or LibraryThing.
Crossovers with other challenges are acceptable, and feel free to read your books in any format you like.
I'm signing up at the Seeker level. I'll track my progress here.

I hope you'll join me!

ReplyDeleteThanks for this challenge - I especially like the freedom to choose many genres.
ReplyDeleteThere's a bunch of biographies I want to read this year, especially because I read mainly fiction! This challenge is perfect for me to challenge myself to read more. :-)
