2016 NON-FICTION READING CHALLENGE

Found this nonfiction reading challenge at Lady Knight Reads.  I plan to read a lot of nonfiction next year for some of the other challenges I've entered.  There are no levels on this one, so I'll see how many books I can get.

So I was talking to someone on Twitter. I don’t remember who because it was like a whole 24 hours ago and I’m basically senile in my old age, but it was basically about how I need to read more-nonfiction and since apparently challenges are a thing I’m doing next year, I decided to host a non-fiction one.

How It Works:

-The challenge will run from January 1, 2016 until December 31, 2016

-I’m low maintenance so I’m not going to require participants to read any particular number, but you need to keep track of them somewhere, like Goodreads or doing some kind of wrap up post on your blog or Tumblr, so I can verify for giveaway purposes.

-There will be two giveaways, at the end of June and December, for signed up participants.

-The giveaways will be international to anywhere The Book Depository ships, for one non-fiction book up to $25. Each book read = one entry in the giveaway. Bonus entries will be given for reviews.
