Oppsummering; Mål og utfordringer for 2014

I løpet av året har jeg gjort litt av hvert litteraturmessig. Satte meg noen personlige mål, og jeg har deltatt både på Back to the Classics utfordring, og lest afrikanske bøker (som var en annen utfordring). Kikket tilbake på mål jeg satte meg for 2014, og her er resultatene.

Klarte å skrive minst 1 innlegg i uka på denne bloggen
Leste definitivt mer enn 12 bøker
Leste mer enn 2 bøker jeg har fått tak i via Bookcrossing, og delta på en release-utfordring
Endte opp med å lese 4 1001-bøker
Reiste til York på studietur (og ja, kjøpte bøker)

    Fantastisk liste! Her må jeg stjele noen titler. Har lenge hatt Jules Verne, en verdensomseiling under havet på lista selv, leste Jorden rundt på 80 dager for en stund siden og den var utrolig morsom.
    Kjempefin blogg forresten.

Announcing the 2022 Diversity Reading Challenge

Image
As we're writing 2022 in two months, I figured out it was time to announce the 2022 Diversity Challenge. I've hosted it in 2019 and 2021, and decided to host it next year too. I’m not going to make any categories or levels for this challenge, as I want it to be a bit flexible. Read as many books as you feel like reading and yes, it can be children’s books, graphic novels, e-books, non-fiction, audio books, poetry and you-name-it. As it is a diversity reading challenge, it would be mean to exclude some types of reading materials, right? Now, what is diversity you might ask? What I mean by diversity is, but not limited to; People of colour/non-caucasian characters/authors Native Americans and other indigenous people LGBTQIA+ Authors/characters defining themselves as trans, intersex, genderfluid or similar Refugees Religious minorities Mental illnesses/disorders Neurodiversity (like ADD, Aspergers and autism) Feminist themes/issues Physical/mental disabilities Characters/authors w...
