I’m signing up for the 2024 Audiobook Challenge, hosted by Caffeinated Reviewer and That’s What I’m Talking About. I might be a bit of an audiobook junkie. My goal for the year is 50+ which puts me at Marathoner level. The hashtag is #2024AudiobookChallenge. Also, June is Audiobook Month, so there will be a special mini-challenge just for the month. Books read:...

And the last of my 2024 challenges (probably) is the Uncorked Reading Challenge. There are quarterly Bingo cards. Work toward reading books/watching movies to score a “Bingo” in any direction, horizontal, vertical, or diagonal. As always, read (and watch) as much or as little as you like. Of course, you may do all of the topics on a card too – or at least try. The hashtag is #UncorkedReading....

Another new challenge for me for 2024 is the European Reading Challenge hosted at Rose City Reader. I might just need a vacation, but right now books are probably a better choice. The idea is to read books set in European countries or books by European authors. You can participate at different levels, but each book must represent a different country -- either written by an author from a different country or set in a different country, no two books from the same country. It's supposed to be a tour! The hashtag is #europeanreadingchallenge. For this challenge, we use the standard list of 50 sovereign states that fall (at least partially) within the geographic territory of the continent of Europe and/or enjoy membership in international European organizations such as the Council of Europe. These 50 European sovereign states are: Albania, Andorra, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Belgium, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Croatia, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Hungary,...

The Literary Escapes Challenge hosted at Escape With Dollycas Into A Good Book is a new one for me. The goal is to read 1 book set in each of the 50 states + the District of Columbia. (51 Points). If you complete the challenge you earn 50 Bonus Points. You also can earn Bonus Points for books set in Countries around the world. 1 Bonus Point for each country - no repeats.
