I joined this challenge during the last four years and every year so far turned out to be a big success. I managed to read no less than 90! NG ARCs last year and 28 other ARCs, which is definitely way more than planned and in a way I’m hoping to be less successful in 2021. Why? I want to focus more on my backlist titles; I managed to balance both better in 2020, but I didn’t meet the goal I was hoping for and I’m hoping to do better in 2021… This yearly challenge is currently hosted at Socrates’ Book Reviews.
Challenge Guidelines
- The challenge runs from January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021. There is no deadline to sign up.
- Everyone is welcome to participate – you do not need to have a blog.
- Any genre, release date, length, etc. counts – it just needs to be a book from NetGalley or Edelweiss.
- Books can count for more than one challenge that you are participating in.
- The first day of each month I will post a monthly “link-up” for you to link your reviews. If you forget one month, no worries, just catch up the next month.
The Levels
Bronze – 10 Books
Silver – 25 Books
Gold – 50 Books
Platinum – 75 Books
Diamond – 100 Books
I will be going for 25 ARCs, as I’m hoping to focus on my backlist titles again in 2021… I might change it to Gold later this year depending on how many ARCs I end up requesting despite supposedly taking a break from ARCs. xD

Good luck to you. I was in such a reading funk last year. I’m just hoping to get my reading joy back one book at a time. I may do a reading challenge to help me accomplish this. We’ll see.

I hope you will get out of your reading slump soon! Maybe rereading an old favorite might help?

Good luck on both this challenge and reading more backlist titles. I also really want to focus some more attention on the books I already own.

Thanks! I really want to try and make a dent in my pile of backlist titles this year… The TBR mountain is growing out of control haha. xD Fingers crossed we will both be able to do so!
