Chuckles Autumn Reading List (revamped version)
Welcome to my Autumn Reading List! I had great success with the
Summer version so I hope that this list motivates me through towards the
end of the year. The idea is to pick a big pile of books that I want to
read as priority, scattered over various genres. This time I'm
focusing a lot on horror and SF as I have two big challenges for that
coming up in October and November. I'm also trying to get a pile of
series finished before the year ends, finishing up a few challenges and
fitting in a few other genres for fun.
From September 1st to December 31st, I'll try to read as many of them
as I can. I'm choosing 100 books for the three month reading period of
autumn and for December to round off my reading year so I can start a
new Winter Reading List in January! Anyone who wants to join in with
this is welcome!
October 12th update-OK things have not gone great with this list over the six weeks of the challenge so far. I don't seem to be motivated to read and I seem to be not in the mood for a lot of what I had chosen so I'm re-doing the list. From now on the list will feature what I have read and DNFed in each genre and I'm switching 100% to mood reading!

That's a lot of DNFs. Are you finding it harder to get into books because of your reading slump, or might it be an unlucky run of titles that's the cause? I hope you find your reading mojo again soon :-)
ReplyDeleteNo it's just not liking the characters or the plot being too slow etc. I've been selecting books that have mixed reviews or ones that have things I don't like so Ican deal with them quickly and move on!
DeleteNice list. And I'm curious about the non fiction ones!
ReplyDeleteThe non fiction books have been a success so far!
