This year, I will be participating in the 2023 Bookish Books Reading Challenge hosted by Susan at Bloggin’ ‘Bout Books.
The hashtag for the reading challenge is #BookishBooksReadingChallenge
About the Challenge: This is a laidback challenge designed to encourage the reading of all those bookish books that are still lingering on our shelves and TBR lists. Any book counts as long as one of its main themes is books (reading them, writing them, hoarding them, stealing them, eating them, burning them, decorating with them, organizing them, sniffing them, selling them, etc.). Any book that is essentially bookish in nature counts. All formats are acceptable. Since this challenge isn’t about pages read, length doesn’t matter either. Picture books are totally fine.
Levels:
Toe in the Door: 1-10 books read
Picking and Perusing: 11-20 books read
Lost in the Stacks: 21-30 books read
Living in the Library: 30+ books read
I am opting to pursue the Picking and Perusing Level.
