Well, today I'm doing my usual Tell Me Tuesdays because I'm still reading Symbiont since last week, but I am joining yet another reading challenge for 2015!!
Remember when I said I didn't want to over do it? Well, already signed up for 3 challenges and 2015 still hasn't arrived!
The good thing about the 105 Challenge is that you can combine more than one challenge! It is hosted by Nori of Read Write Love 28 and you're supposed to read 105 books!
And not only read 105 books, because you might think that 105 is a bit of an odd number, but it's done by adding up 12 + 11 + 10 + 9 + 8 + 7 + 6 + 5 + 4 + 3 +2 + 1!
One incentive for joining the challenge will be a rafflecopter where you can get points for completing each group of books! Rafflecopter will be picking a winner each month who will receive a special prize for completing part of the challenge.
The one requirement that Nori has for joining this challenge is that whenever you FINISH reading an entire category, please make a GR shelf for it and send her the link through rafflecopter!
Here are my categories for this challenge!
14 - Review copies (either physical or eARCs)
13 - Physical books from my TBR that have been there since 2014 or before
12 - Alyssa Recommends books
11 - 2015 new releases (first books, sequels, debuts)
10 - Diversity & LGBT books
9 - Fantasy books
8 - Classic MG & YA
7 - Final books in a series not published in 2015
6 - YA contemporary
5 - MG books
4 - Dystopian books
3 - Indie books
2 - Re-reads
1 - Non-fiction book
So that's it, I'm planning to add a lil more variety, keep up with my review copies and make sure I don't stress myself too much thinking of completing my challenge!

Wow, good for you Pili! WOO HOO!!!! I fail at challenges. I tried one, the act of simply signing up made me not want to read any of the books for the challenge. I have no idea why. Just a weird mental thing about HAVING to do something and thus not wanting to do it. *pats self on back for being awesome* Good luck with your three challenges my friend!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jenny! I do well with challenges if I already want to read stuff, and also when I push myself out of my comfort zone a lil bit!
DeleteThis sounds like fun! I'm no good at reading challenges but I hope you kill this one :D
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen! I hope I can do well enough!
DeleteThat's PERFECT! I like the sound of this challenge and I am SO tempted to enter but... I don't like challenges since I can never keep up. It's a weird thing to say considering how many books I read but I hate keeping track of what I am reading in terms of categories so it just becomes hard .-.
ReplyDeleteBut GOOD LUCK WITH IT, Pili! :D I am sure you'll win! :)
Thank you Rashika!! I do hope I can kill it! =D This one was a great idea cause it's like vvarious challenges in one!
DeleteI'm so glad that you're participating. :) I love that one of your categories is recommended books.
ReplyDeleteThank you Nori! =D And yeah, Alyssa is one of my blogger besties and I have an Alyssa Recommends shelf and she does have some Pili Pushed books! ;)
DeleteIs this for all of 2015? Because that's a lot of books. And I love Alyssa too xoxo
ReplyDeleteJen @ YA Romantics
Yup, it's for the whole year! I usually can read over 200 books a year, so I hope I can manage!
DeleteAlyssa's awesome, isn't she?
Wow, Pili! Joining three challenges?! OHLALA! I wouldn't be able to achieve that haha. But honestly this one is one of the most unique challenges I've ever heard. Good luck, girl! I know you can reach it!
ReplyDeleteFaye at The Social Potato
Thank you Faye! Last year I joined 4 challenges and I think I've failed 2!! Hopefully I'll do better this year with one less! ;)
DeleteOhh, sounds like an interesting challenge :D I hope you will have lots of fun with it, and best of luck reading all the books sweetie. <3 I won't ever do any challenges, hih, but I might still read all of this :) Maybe. Maybe not ;p Curious to see what you will read. <3 Thank you for sharing Pili :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Carina! I like that it has loads of options within one challenge!! =D
DeleteGood luck with the challenge! Hope it's a fun one :)
ReplyDeleteAlyssa @ The Eater of Books!
Thanks Alyssa, I even made a special category for your recommendations! ;)
DeleteThis is a really cool challenge! I am such a mood reader I couldn't stick to that, just doing 120 books!
ReplyDeleteI am quite a mood reader too, but I think I've made it somewhat easy for me to stick to all the categories!
DeleteThanks Dana!
I'm doing this challenge too! I'll follow you to see how you go with it :) Here's my post: https://victoriajaynesbooks.wordpress.com/?s=105+challenge
ReplyDeleteAin't it a very cool challenge? I had a bit of trouble coming up with you many categories!
