The Mad Reviewer Challenge Check In #2
Yes folks, it’s the end of August which means there are only four more months left to finish The Mad Reviewer Reading & Reviewing Challenge. We’re already two thirds of the way through 2013 if you can believe it. I know I can’t.
As some of my regular readers may have noticed, my progress bar has not moved at all in weeks. Obviously from my reviews this is not because I haven’t been reading but rather because I want to be a little more selective in the books I”m counting toward my challenge. I want to be able to say that I read and reviewed 1000+ page novels for my challenge rather than count books that are only 100-200 pages. As someone who reads a lot, I have the luxury of doing this.
So what I’m curious about is this: if you’re participating, where are you in my challenge? Have you finished yet? Are you thinking of upgrading? Would you be interested in participating in my reading and reviewing challenge next year?
The Mad Reviewer Challenge Check in
Since it’s Sunday and I’m far too tired/lazy to write a very deep or thoughtful post at the moment, I thought it would be a great time for a challenge check in. If you’re participating in The Mad Reviewer Reading/Reviewing Challenge, how far are you? 25%, 50%, finished? Since it’s almost June, the halfway point, you should probably be around 50%, give or take a few percentage points. Assuming you’re pacing yourself and not procrastinating until you begin a reading frenzy in December. If you’re not participating, there’s still time to join if you want to go for one of the lower levels (click here for more info).
As you guys can see from my progress bar, I’ve read and reviewed 65 books toward my goal of 104 books, making me roughly 63% done. No, I’m not counting the short stories or novellas I’ve reviewed since I know I’ll be reading and reviewing far more than 104 books this year. I can afford to be a little more picky, which is why I’m also keeping track of how many pages I’ll be reading for the challenge. (Thanks to Caleb Flanagan of 20four12 for that idea!)
So how’s the challenge going for you? If you’re not participating, how’s your reading/reviewing in general going this year?
