After I looked over the results of my year in review, it was clear I scored dismally on reading physical books- and physical books used to be the only way I would read books, until a few months prior to creating this blog. Therefore, this February, I'm challenging myself to read exclusively paper books- so I can feel the paper love again!
If you'd like to join me on this bookish journey, here are the rules:
1. The books you read must be paper.
-or-
1. Challenge yourself to read a set amount of paper books (handy if you have review copies on your ereader).
This challenge will last from February 1st-29th. Even if I end up being the only one being challenged, I will have a few relevant posts and discussions on the physical book vs. ebook pros and cons.
Here is the finalized Roster of Events.
And here's a link-up if you want to add your participation announcement from Twitter and/or your blog:
So tempting! February is a bad month for me though, especially with it being the last full month of COYER. I may have to designate a month later in the year to read paper books. Goodness knows I have plenty to choose from.
ReplyDeleteI understand completely! This was mostly a challenge for me, but for the hell of it I made it public (also, to hold me to my word- procrastination is my game). I really want to up my paper books numbers this year, and this should help me get a head start on that!

This is too easy for me :) I read ONLY paper copies so it's not much of a challenge hahaha
ReplyDeleteYou would likely win the challenge hands down, then! I used to read all paper books (as I said before), but then I moved to a city with no bookstore with new releases. I'm too impatient to wait for books I wanted yesterday, and too procrastinatory to read the ones I've already got. It's a serious dilemma. ;)

Good luck! This a wonderful idea. I would join you, but I am in three clean up your TBR challenges, and one us exclusively ebooks and another is a Netgalley/Edelweiss clean-up. I now am in love with my ereader, too!
ReplyDeleteHa! That's what I need to do more of. Unfortunately, I'm a rather unrepentant book hoarder. I'm hoping to cull back some of my paper TBR with this challenge, and hopefully not buy any more books during the month. We'll see how I do with that.

"Unrepentant book hoarder" haha, that describes me perfectly too. Since we are reading And the Mountains Echoed for our Travel the World in Books Reading Challenge group read, I know I will read one paper book, the rest are review copies on the Kindle. Good luck with the challenge, If you make it a year long endeavor lete know, I have been enjoying reading my paper books and have a whole bookshelf to read.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking of making it year-long, but I Googled it and someone else had something similar going on, so I stuck with a month long challenge. If I'm feeling up to it, though, there may also be a "Smell the Paper September". ;)

If you do it again in September I just might join!
DeleteI just may have to do it again in September. February is the month everyone seems to be busy doing other challenges! :)
