We all love to write. That’s why we’re a part of Write Tribe! But many of us love to read too. In fact, we encourage you to read. We’re firm believers in what Stephen King says: “If you don’t have time to read, you don’t have the time (or the tools) to write. Simple as that.” It’s surprising that despite our love of books, we’ve never had a Reading Challenge here. It’s never too late to start, isn’t it? So here you go. The Write Tribe Reading Challenge 2019!
The Write Tribe Reading Challenge 2019
Quite simply, the reading challenge has 3 parts = Committing to read a minimum of 24 books in 2019 + Reading a minimum of 12 books based on the prompts given below + Reviewing one book a month.
You do not have to be a blogger to participate; you can track your progress on Goodreads, LibraryThing, BookLikes, etc., so as long as you have a dedicated shelf for the Write Tribe Reading Challenge 2019 and your profile is not private. The point of linking up is to have a place where people can see what you’re reading.
