Announcing the Autumn Reading Challenge 2024

As it's soon autumn again, I wanted to revive the autumn reading challenge I've hosted a few times previous years.


The rules are fairly simple and straight forward. Complete as many prompts as you want/can, and feel free to read more than one book for each prompt. It's not like I'm a teacher and will check if you've done your homework - it's supposed to be fun. If you want to, you're totally allowed to share your reads on Instagram with the hashtag #TrykksverteAutumnReading2024 , but no pressure, although it would be fun to see what everyone else is reading. Also, the challenge runs from September 1st 2024 to November 30th 2024.

Now, over to the prompts. Even though I'm focusing on blogging and reviewing horror and paranormal books on this blog, I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, so I've got a nice mix of prompts that could suit a lot of peole.

Reading Prompts
  • Read a book that has autumn, Mabon, Halloween/Samhain or an autumn month in the title
  • Read a scary book for Halloween
  • Read a dark academia novel

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
