2020 Reading Challenge Announcements

Hello again! Hard to believe we're already coming to the end of another year of reading (and other) challenges, isn't it? I'm not really ready to commit to any new ones just yet, but since the 2020 challenges are beginning to show up around the 'net, I'll be keeping track as usual. 

So, to start with, some general info:

The challenges listed here are, for the most part (although it's not a strict rule), year-long challenges, open to everyone. I don't usually list read-a-thons, read-alongs, "personal" challenges, or challenges linked to special days or time periods (except for the annual RIP challenge in the fall). 

Also please NOTE: This list is NOT meant to be a complete list of ALL the reading challenges available for 2020. It's mainly just challenges that seem attractive to me. And I'm not necessarily recommending any of these — just keeping track.

Two more things. In general I'm not a fan of the "check list" type of reading challenge with a bunch of set categories — so I'll list a few, but not every one of them. Also, I don't do a lot of social media hanging out, so if a challenge is being hosted primarily on Facebook or Twitter or Instagram, etc., you probably won't find it on this list.

And now....

The List
