I've decided to take on the Global Reading Challenge again this year.
The Rules:
As in the past, the 2013 Global Reading Challenge (2013GRC) challenges you to expand your reading boundaries, go where you haven't been before, move a little outside your comfort zone.
You may read any genre so long as the books are fiction. [I have to say I would like it if this changed to included nonfiction, but so be it.]
Decide which level you will attempt, although you can change that later if you wish.
Use the Mr Linky to sign up with your name, the level you intend to attempt, and your blog URL.
The Levels:
The Easy Challenge
Read one novel from each of these continents in the course of 2013:
Africa, Asia, Australasia/Oceania, Europe, North America, South America (please include Central America where it is most convenient for you)
The Seventh Continent (here you can either choose Antarctica or your own ´seventh´ setting, eg the sea, the space, a supernatural/paranormal world, history, the future – you name it).
From your own continent: try to find a country, state or author that is new to you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Medium Challenge
Read two novels from each of these continents in the course of 2013:Africa, Asia, Australasia/Oceania, Europe, North America, South America (please include Central America where it is most convenient for you)
The Seventh Continent (here you can either choose Antarctica or your own ´seventh´ setting, eg the sea, the space, a supernatural/paranormal world, history, the future – you name it).
From your own continent: try to find a country, state or author that is new to you.
Try to find novels from fourteen different countries or states.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Expert Challenge
Read three novels from each of these continents in the course of 2013:Africa, Asia, Australasia/Oceania, Europe, North America, South America (please include Central America where it is most convenient for you)
The Seventh Continent (here you can either choose Antarctica or your own ´seventh´ setting, eg the sea, the space, a supernatural/paranormal world, history, the future – you name it).
From your own continent: try to find a country, state or author that is new to you.
Select novels from twenty-one different countries or states if possible. (For Australasia, selecting a different state for your last book will be acceptable)
My Challenge Choices:
I am going for the Expert Challenge. I've tried this level in previous years unsuccessfully, so will try to identify books from the continents I have trouble with earlier in order to achieve this level.
Wow you're ambitious. I'm not sure I can take another challenge this year, Good Luck.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to the Global Reading Challenge for 2013 Shonna. Last year I made my 7th Continent historical fiction.
ReplyDeleteWish me luck Irene. I haven't completed this challenge yet. It's always South America and Africa that give me the most trouble.
ReplyDeleteGood idea Kerrie on historical fiction. I mixed mine up last year, doing one historical fiction, one fictional world, and one "the sea" (although that one was historical too). Not sure what I'll do this year yet.
