Last year I took part in several challenges but found it quite hard to remember to update my progress in each of them. This year, I’m trying to be more organised and so I’ve created this page for my challenges where I can post my progress as I go along. I’m not sure how it’s going to work as I’ve never set up extra pages like this before so I’ll have to see how it goes.
This is a challenge that I have created for myself to help me read more poetry this year. The initial idea for the challenge can be found here
I’m taking part in this challenge for the second year. My aim is to read at least 6 non fiction books during 2023. The challenge is hosted by Shelleyrae at Book’d Out and details can be found here
My progress so far:
The Darkness Manifesto by Johan Eklof
I liked the idea of this challenge which is to read historical fiction from different periods in history. It’s hosted by Sam at Taking on a World of Words
The complete challenge will include 12 books from the following eras:
- Pre 1200 [NEW] I’ve finished The Wolf Den which is set in Ancient Pompeii
- 1200-1499 [NEW]
- 1500-1699
- 1700-1799
- 1800-1899
- 1900-1919
- 1920-1939
- 1940-1959
- 1960-1979
- 1980-1999
- 2000-Present
- The Future
My final challenge is actually a scavenger hunt lasting the whole year which has been created by Jordyn at Birdie’s Book Nook . It’s designed mainly for fantasy novels so shouldn’t be too hard!!!!!!!!!

I’m glad I saw your post because this was a reminder about the Nonfiction Challenge that I saw floating around, but then forgot about during the holiday hustle and bustle. Good luck with your challenges!
If you need help with your Poetry Challenge, then I recommend looking into Verse Novels. They are a growing literary genre, and are popular with Teen Readers.
That’s a great idea. I read one a couple of years ago that I bought for my class when I was still teaching but haven’t read any since
Best of luck to you in these challenges. The When are You Reading Challenge looks very… challenging!
I would have completed all the categories if I had done it last year so it hopefully won’t be too hard 😀
