Humor Reading Challenge 2017

Humor Reading Challenge 2017

I've never seen a humor reading challenge offered, so I thought it would be a good idea to start one.  Over the last year or so I've read a lot of books that fall into the humor category, including memoirs and graphic novels. I'll also be doing a Memoir Reading Bingo challenge and an Epistolary Reading Challenge,  and I have participated in the Graphic Novel Challenge for the last two years, so I expect to find some crossovers among the books I read for each of these. 

I've decided to do levels on this one (unlike in two of my other challenges). You may go up a level, but not down.  The levels are as follows:

Cartoonist: 1-5 books

Humor Columnist: 6-10 books 

Comedy Writer:  11-15 books

Stand Up Comedian: More than 15 books 

Guidelines for the Challenge:

• Challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2017. Books must be started on or after January 1 to count. Re-reads are allowed as long as they are read during the specified time frame.
• Books may cross over to other challenges in which you are participating.
• Any book (fiction, nonfiction, memoirs, graphic novels, poetry collections, plays, picture books) labeled as humor counts. As such, all book formats (paper, audio, electronic) may be read.
• You do not need a blog to sign up. You may keep tract of your progress on Goodreads, Amazon or other similar sites with a shelf dedicated to this challenge. Or sign up on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, etc. 
• There will be no checkins, nor do you need to post reviews.

Above all, have fun. I look forward to seeing what you choose to read.
