As a contrast from previous years' participation, I've decided to decrease my ambitions:
-- Reading Level 4 to Reading Level 2 -- two books a month instead of four.
Click on the above link to learn more or sign up for the challenge!!
In 2016, Michelle and Berls tweaked the original Reading Assignment Challenge rules just a little bit, but some things are still the same:
- Make a list of books and stick with it for this challenge for the year.
- Commit to reading the number of books for the level you have chosen for each month and ONLY read that number of books from the pre-made list.
The Levels:
Reading Level 1:
12 books (1 book/month)
Reading Level 2:
24 books (2 books/month)
24 books (2 books/month)
Reading Level 3:
36 books (3 books/month)
36 books (3 books/month)
Reading Level 4:
48 books (4 books/month)
48 books (4 books/month)
The challenge is separated into four quarters, and each quarter will be a new start to receiving a new grade, with the same list of books you have pre-picked for 2017.
Quarterly Grading System
- I made an A! Read all your books all three months of the quarter.
- I made a B! Read all your books for two months of the quarter.
- I made a C! Read all your books for one month of the quarter.
- I made an F! Didn’t read all your books during any months of the quarter.
Also, our lovely hosts have included a one time chance to exchange out a month's worth of Reading Assignment books at midpoint (based on Reading Level). So, after June, if I feel as if I don't want to read certain books anymore, I can change out 1 book if I choose Reading Level 1, or up to 4 books if I choose Reading Level 4.
In my case this year, I will be able to exchange out up to 2 books at Reading Level 2.

Every year I try to include a good number of books off of my 'Already Owned' pile... but every year I always end up with half pre-owned books, and half library books. Of course, I suppose it was really my choice no matter what, and the books I wanted to include in my challenge list turned out in this way.
Wish me luck!
