As you can see, it is the time of year when various reading challenges begin popping up. Some will not appear until December or January. I'm seeing new ones I want to join but am not sure about yet. I was sad to learn that this was the last year of the Pick Your Poison challenge. That one was such fun. I have not seen the Reader Haven Challenge posted, but I may not do that one again, as the topics seem to be repeated every year. And there are many others that I have been doing for years now--waiting for those to come up for next year. The ones I post on my blog are the one I participate in. I am also a moderator for a Facebook group that collects such challenges, so I am always searching for them, even ones I don't plan on joining. I also host five challenges that you can see on my blog. Some I was not sure about hosting again, but decided to do them all.
I'm still trying to decide what to read to finish my challenges for this year, and how many holiday books I'm going to read next month. I've already decided on one.
Those who join challenges: About how many do you join a year, and what re some of your favorites? And those who host challenges--about how many participants to do get a year?
In some past years, some blogs hosting challenges I have joined get deleted before the year is over. How many of you have had that happen?

Can I ask the name of the Facebook group?
Eva, it's called "Sleep Less, Read More - Reading Challenges, Events and more!" It's private group that you must request to join.
Thank you!
I run a challenge called Foodies Read for books about food. We have a core group of about 10 people who are hardcore but it is hard to get new people.
Heather: I have joined the Foodies challenge, and plan to do so again next year.
Challenges are so fun, especially if you actually keep up with them and seeing the completed challenges with the book lists is exciting. We do the discussion challenge and audiobook challenge, as well as run our own monthly bingo card challenge. But every now and then I join something else if I remember to do it.
