Using story to connect YOU to the Master Storyteller

It’s 2022!!!  Can you believe it? Last year I participated in a few reading challenges and really enjoyed it, so when someone joked on Avid Readers of Christian Fiction that I had enough books to create my own reading challenge, I thought, “Why not?”

So, after some initial attempts at overcomplication, I came up with something simple enough to make it easy for readers to achieve. All you do is fill in the form by January 5, 2023 (time to finish on New Year’s Eve and get your books recorded). Everyone who submits a challenge win will receive their prize as the forms are submitted (and if I can figure out how to make it work, it’ll be instantaneous!)  All entries will be counted toward fun grand prizes, too!

2022 Write Reading Challenge

Chautona’s 2022 Reading Challenge

With over 100 books, half a dozen genres, and some hefty series, let’s face it. We’ve got enough to really challenge you. So, I’ve broken this challenge into several tiers.

So… What are the tiers?

  • Suspense/Mystery
  • Historical
  • Youth
  • Christmas
  • BYOC (build your own challenge of 10 books)
  • Book Devourers (read ‘em all)

I’ve got prizes and discounts, too!

Frankly, this’ll be on an honor system, but I will ask that you use Goodreads if you have an account so that people see my books come up in your feed. It’s a great way to get the word out there about them without making a lot of work for you!

If you complete your challenge, you will receive the prize associated with that challenge. If you complete three (or the Book Devourer), there will be a special book offered JUST for those folks. Yep, I’m writing a (very short) novella JUST for those who are brave enough to read three sets of books or all the books. I’m even going to put it in paperback and offer it at a crazy cheap price (covering expenses, basically) just as my thanks for reading “all the books.”

Note: a couple of the challenges WILL have duplicates. That works in your favor. For example, historical will have Madeline. So will Mystery/Suspense. So, that’s five books for sure that you’ll get to mark off TWO lists.
