I've been talking about reading resolutions the past couple of weeks on Saturdays @ the South because I've tried to make a couple myself. The first I mentioned previously, the Clean Your Reader challenge and no, I haven't started it because I'm embedded in Scott Lynch's first of the Gentlemen Bastards series, The Lies of Locke Lamora. I'm thoroughly enjoying it, but there's lots of tiny type on those nearly 500 pages. Fortunately, this is a pretty laid-back challenge and doesn't tie its participants into ONLY reading ebooks, so after I've conquered Locke Lamora, I'll be moving on to a couple of ebooks that I've been eager to read.
I've also set my Goodreads challenge again this year. I've resolved to read as many books as I read last year, even though I read 20 more than my goal this year after reading this great blog post from Broke by Books. There happens to be plenty that I want to read, including back issues of American Libraries and National Geographic Traveler that were put aside for my MLIS.
Basically, my second post was an excuse for me to ponder doing Book Riot's awesome #ReadHarder challenge and play around it bit more with infographics, which, now that I've set up my account with PiktoChart, is way too much fun to ignore. I also wanted to see the breadth of possibilities this challenge offered and while my suggestions are basically limited to ones available at my branch, my research came up with so many cool possibilities my Goodreads "to-read" list is most definitely filled to bursting. So here's the latest Saturdays @ the South post, infographic and all. Hopefully, if anyone reading this is doing the Read Harder challenge, you'll get some suggestions!
