#Tsundoku BingoWinter2018Challenge – Cindy's Love Of Books

In order to read more of my own books this year I decided to join in on a few reading challenges and one of them was the Tsundoku Bingo Winter 2018 Challenge that was being hosted over at The Broken Spine. Erica comes up with a new Bingo board every quarter of the year and its basically reading the books in your own TBR pile. This board was good from January to March.

I had initially gone into this reading challenge as wanting to actually break the board up into reading 8 books a month so that I could clear 25 books off my TBR in three months well sadly that didn’t happen I ended up reading 15 of the 25 books which in itself is pretty good.

Here is what I read:

- A book of poetry: Sea of Strangers
- book you chose because of the cover: The Owl, The Ghost
- female main character: Nice Try, Jane Sinner
- A book published in 2016: The Princess Saves Herself in this One
- Book adapted to a Movie: Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda
- The oldest book on your TBR shelf: Night by Elise Wiesel
- Recommended by a friend: Together at Midnight by Jennifer Castle
- Based on a true Story: Day by Elise Wiesel
- Book set in another country: Dawn by Elise Wiesel
- A YA Book: What light
- book with a name in the title: Harry Moon First Light
- Mystery/thriller/Suspense: The Perfect Nanny
- Written by a woman: Faithful by Alice Hoffman
- Book that’s part of a series: The Hypontists
- bookworm spot: Under Her Skin by Adriana Anders

Over all I am really happy with my goals in this reading challenge and like I said I have 15 less books on my shelf now.

Check back later for the Spring Edition of the Tsundoku Bingo Spring 2018.

If you are a reader of my blog you have read that I admit I suck at reading challenges numerous times over the course of my 9 years of blogging and I am not afraid to admit it. Although I think this upcoming year might be the year that I change that.

I found a few reading challenges that I think will work for me and I can overlap them all so that I won’t get overwhelmed in the end.

The reading challenges that I am doing in 2018 are:

The first one is The Blogger Shame Challenge that is being hosted over at The Herd Presents. If your a book blogger you know you have some review books sitting on your TBR that you haven’t read and there is no shame in that I have quite a few. You can read any format but they must be 4 months and older.

The second one is Try Something New Challenge and this is being hosted over at The Herd Presents as well. For this one you are basically going to be reading new to you books ie debut, first book in a series, genres, author, book format etc. This is another way to tackle that TBR pile.

I decided that I am going to do level 2 which is 11-20 books. If I do more that is great but for now I am keeping it at this level.

The third one is Tsundoku Bingo Winter 2018 Challenge that is being hosted over at The Broken Spine. Erica has come up with a new Bingo board every quarter of the year and its basically reading the books in your own TBR pile. This board is good from January to March. I am hoping to complete this board by the end of March.

Finally the last one I am doing is Tackle My TBR Challenge being hosted by Kimberly Faye Reads and all this one is is reading your own books that you have sitting on your own bookshelves. I am hoping to read at least 5 of my own books each month. Any amount I can take of my own shelves is good.

I somehow stumbled up another reading challenge called The 2018 Reading Challenge being hosted on the blog Modern Mrs Darcy and it seems really interesting. The goal is just to read amazing books and who doesn’t want to read amazing books in 2018? There is 12 categories and you read a book from each one. Sounds easy doesn’t it.

Finally the last challenge I am going to do is 2018 Picky Pledge Reading Challenge and its being hosted by Alexa from Alexa Loves Books and Hannah from So Obsessed With and this is just like the above one with 12 categories and you pick the books off your TBR shelf. I know I want to read my own books and I am worried I will get a little bored so I think this will be a fun way to add some variety to doing that.

What reading challenges are you doing in 2018?
