Challenges and Goals for 2015

A Challenge for 2015

I continue to think about books and goals for 2015. I want to set up some structure but not too much. If I have too much I won't do it. It will be stressful. In reading many blogs from my blogroll I have come across this challenge and I really like it. It only involves 6 books minimum for the year, it would apply to my Century of Books as well and I can use my TBR books I own.

The main priority for 2015 is the TBR dare. I am going to really get stuck into books on my shelves. This could fit in nicely as I have a pile of Penguins Classics and Penguin Modern Classics. 

So I think now what is setting up to be pretty firm reading goals for 2015 is:  TBR books, Continuing with my Century of Books and this Back To The Classics Challenge. 

I am looking forward to the new year and reading all these beautiful books I own.  

Are any of you doing any challenges for 2015?

These books must come from my TBR pile I already own.

The Goal - to read a minimum of six classics between 1 Jan - 31 Dec 1015 .

The Categories

1. A 19th Century Classic — any book published between 1800 and 1899.

2.  A 20th Century Classic – any book published between 1900 and 1965.  

     Just like last year, all books must have been published at least 50 years ago to qualify
