Hanging out in a library for an hour. My challenge for myself? I can pick up as many books as I want, but they HAVE to already be on my tbr. No going "Oh that looks interesting" and picking it up.
Wish me luck!

Meme Monday! Who else can relate? 😂 Honestly, any book I see gets my attention, at least for a few minutes! I need to get better at reading the books I have (at least some of them!) before I get new ones. That probably isn't going to happen any time soon, seeing as I will be going to a bookstore cafe this weekend 😂
Berry Book Challenge: November Edition
What is it?
As a writer, November has always been writing challenge month. This year, since I've had to step back from writing, I decided to bring the spirit of nanowrimo to my reading life too.
Rules:
- Pick a page count. Keeping the nano spirit, this challenge goes by the number of pages read rather than books. You can either select one from the Reading Tiers list below, or customize your own. If you'd like to add a book goal, that's good to! Pages are just the focus.
- Pick your books. This step is optional, but can help make sure you're picking books that fit nicely into your page count. If you have a large TBR pile or no idea where to start, try using some of the prompts provided in the Prompts list
- Read! Starting November 1st in your local timezone, dig into your books and knock out those pages. The challenge ends on November 30th.
- Share your progress. If you decide to participate, use #BerryBooksNovember to chat about how things are going for you! Challenges always work best when others doing it can interact and have fun together!
Reading Tiers
Casual: 300 pages (10p/day). Roughly 1 novel.
Dedicated: 750 pages (25p/day). Roughly 2 novels.
Avid: 1500 pages (50p/day). Roughly 4‐5 novels.
Enthusiastic: 2250 (75p/day). Roughly 7-8 novels.
Voracious: 3000 pages (100p/day). Roughly 9-10 novels.
Nano: 5000 pages (167p/day). A special November tier. Roughly 16-17 novels.
Prompt List
(below the cut)
What book should I read next? SoC + CK will be rereads haha ♡︎♡︎
My first challenge for @heretherebebooks ‘s #Goatathon
I’m in serious need of some reading motivation since my Goodreads Challenge hasn’t been updated in two months and I’m 6 books behind on my goal. Therefore I thought this would be the perfect motivation to finish some books of my TBR pile.
In physical books I will be reading
The Watchmaker of Filigree Street by Natasha Pulley I have had this book for three years so I’m super pumped to read this!
Hag Seed by Margaret Atwood Shakespeare retold by Margaret Atwoord.. ‘Nuff said.
Siege and Storm by Leigh Bardugo I loved the first book in the Grisha Trilogy and I’m dying to finish the trilogy and then start on Six of Crows!
I also have an e-book TBR pile of which I will be finishing
Authority by Jeff Vandermeer I loved Annihilation and I desperately want to finish the Southern Reach books before I watch the Netflix movie. Fingers crossed!
The Dream Thieves by Maggie Stiefvater Started this book over 4 years ago I think and somehow never finished it. Perfect opportunity to do so I think!
Decided I'm not doing nanowrimo on my writing blog this year so instead I'm gonna be making up a reading challenge for the month! Gonna start making up some prompts today 😄📚
