As Told by Tina is announcing a new challenge, quite suitable to me. I follow several challenges aimed at reducing the number of TBR books. Lately, since I came back to Sweden, I tend to borrow books at the library and thus they are not taken off my shelves. Here I can add these kind of books. The rules are simple (for full rules and sign up go to link above). Tina says:
Print Only is very simple, just read as many physical books as you can. These can be books you’ve purchased, sent, or borrowed! As long as it is a physical book, then it counts.
Print Only Challenge Details:
- Print Only challenge begins on January 1st – December 31st and you can sign up at anytime.
- Every book must be a physical book. Hardback/Paperback/ Soft Board books count.
- All Genres Count.
- Re-Reading / Crossovers are totally encouraged.
- If you are a blogger, I’d love for you to make a sign up posts (you can also include all the other challenges you are in, it doesn’t have to be just for this challenge) to announcing your commitment.
Use the hash tag #PrintOnlyRC19 to share your progress!
- I’ll have a link up every last Friday of the month so you can link up your reviews.
Print Only Levels:
1-10 – Out Of Print
11-20 – 1st Edition
21-30 – 2nd Printing
31- 40 – Signed Edition
41+ – Collector’s Edition
Although I only sign up today, I will add the printed books I have read as from 1 January. The printed books I have read so far are 31. I will go for Collector's Edition and read 41+ books.

Oh my, Lisbeth! Your list has my jaw dropped! It's so diverse and comprehensive! Good luck with this challenge. (I prefer paper books!)
ReplyDeleteThank you Jeanie. I really like to read different genres. It all depends on my mood, which book I tend to pick up. Most difficult is when you have read a very good book, and you just know the next one will not me as good. Sometimes you are lucky though.
DeleteIt is something special with a paper book, I agree. Good luck with your reading.
