Hallo Roxxie,
bei meinen Challenges sieht es auch nicht so rosig aus. Habe für meine 12 für 25 Challenge bisher nur ein Buch beendet. Aber sieh es mal so, lesen tust du ja trotzdem. Halt nur nicht die Bücher auf der Liste. 😀
Ich bin deshalb immer mehr ein Fan von Challenges, bei denen ich spontan meine Bücher anpassen kann.
Liebe Grüße
Diana
Hey Diana,
da ich ja bald meine Goodreads Challenge voll habe, kann ich mich auf die anderen Challenges konzentrieren. Besonderes Augenmerk werde ich auf 25für2025 und SuB-Senioren legen. Ich bin gespannt, ob ich da bis Ende des Jahres noch etwas mehr erreichen kann.
Challenges, bei denen man anpassen kann, sind natürlich super. Daher mag ich auch die ABC Listen und ABC Titel Challenges. Da kann man dann immer schauen, welche Bücher zu den jeweiligen Aufgaben passen.
Am Einfachsten ist wohl meine Serial-Killer Challenge, da man hier alle Reihenbücher einfügen kann.
Cheerio
