Fiction-NonFiction Challenge 2021

 Doing this one again at A Bookworm's Musing:



Below are twenty categories (or prompts, if you want to call them that). The challenge, as like last time, is to read 10 fiction and 10 non fiction books that fit a category! I’ve kept some categories from last time as well.

  • You can choose to read a fiction and a non fiction for the same category if you want, but not more than one fiction and one non-fiction for any category.
  • You can read one book each prompt and do all the twenty categories too. Up to you! I only ask that the books be over 100 pages.
  • You can read 2 each month and finish at the end of the year, or read 1 each week and finish by May. That’s totally your call. (Even 1 per day is okay, but that’ll be some feat!)
  • After you read a book for the challenge, you can opt to CLICK HERE and let me know through this form that you have. This is still informal, by the way. I’m not likely to be behind you saying “You’ve not read! You’ve not read!” (It might happen though! No promises)
  • If you review a book you’ve read for this challenge on your blog, Goodreads or Instagram, you can also feel free to come to this page and comment. I’ll come read it for sure. And maybe, just maybe, others might too.
