It’s been three months since I started working on the Hardest Reading Challenge You’ll Ever Do (HERCYED) 2.0.
While I’ve been putting up reading lists for each prompt, I might not always read exactly as planned. Part of the challenge for myself is trying to do as many of these prompts as possible using the books that I already have on hand. This is my round up of what progress I’ve made so far:
Completed Prompt: Subgenres of Choice (in August)
Completed Prompt: 24 Hour Readathon (in September)
Completed Prompt: Non-Fiction
For this prompt you need to read five books in five different subcategories of non-fiction. For example: Biography vs Science vs Self-Help, etc.
I read:
- Thick – Tressie McMillan Cottom (May be replaced before I submit depending on whether I have time to read another non-fiction or not)
- Kitchen Confidential – Anthony Bourdain
- The Awful End of Prince William the Silent – Lisa Jardine
- Dogtripping – David Rosenfelt
- Messy – Tim Harford
In Progress:
- By the Hundreds: 4/7
- Series Staircase: 6/10
- The Last 10 Years: 3/10 or 11 if you want to earn +5 points
- Adaptations: 6/8
- Around the World: 3/7
- Spooky Creatures: 3/8
- Become the Avatar: 1/4
- Animals: 3/5
- Queer Alphabet: 2/9
- BIPOC Authors: 3/10
- New Releases: 4/12
- Challenge Yourself: 2/??
- Readathon Challenge: 3/25
- Make a Quote: 0/6
- The Even Bigger Rainbow: 5/13
- Translation Challenge: 0/5
- Heritage Months: 2/12
- Disability Challenge: 0/5
- TBR Game Challenge: 0/6
- Award Season: 0/7
- HRCYED 1: 3/3 (All replaceable)
I am enjoying this challenge. I have decided that although I have plans to read individual books for everything, I am going to take the opportunity to double-up books. That means that I may end up changing my lists before my finalized submissions, if I have enough time, but for now, each book will count against two prompts. This will change the numbers a bit next month, I reckon.
Anyway, if you’d like to learn more about HRCYED, and join the madness, you can find the announcement here:
