Book Challenge by Erin 8.0

January 2, 2018 This post may contain affiliate links, which means that at no extra cost to you if you buy from one of the product links, I’ll earn a small commission which helps this site run. See full disclosure here.

I’m a little late in getting my book challenge list together, but I was quite burnt out after the end of the fall semester. I had to read a book a week and write a paper on it in one of my classes. These book challenges by Erin of Tex-Erin-in-Sydneyland are my favorite challenges to participate in. There’s a great Facebook community for people to interact and talk about books (find it here) and it challenges me to step outside of the norm to read a greater variety of books.

Book Challenge by Erin 8.0

So here are the rules for the challenge if you’re interested in joining the Book Challenge by Erin 8.0. I will list my picks with the categories! While I finished the last challenge, this is my last semester of school so I’m going to make that a priority. I’m not sure how well I’m going to do this round, but I’m going to try my best to finish!

Book Challenge by Erin 8.0 Rules
  • Each book must be 200 pages long.
  • A book can only be used for one category, and each category can only be completed once. If you want to switch the category of a book, or change the book you originally chose, no worries.
  • You can read your books in any order you choose.
  • Rereads can be used only once. If a book you love fits into a category, go ahead and visit it again. Read it in its entirety. But, only do this once for the challenge.
  • Photo albums for each category linking to chosen books are on the Facebook page. Comment on the photo for each of your books when you finish reading them. A comment can include a review, a rating, a recommendation… other readers want to hear what you thought of your choice.
