Signing Up For - Nonfiction, Newbery & Reading Challenge Addict

I will fully admit that I am mainly a fiction reader. But I love nonfiction, too, because I always love learning new things. And what better way to learn than by reading? So I am happy to join the Nonfiction Reading Challenge, hosted by The Introverted Reader, again this year. Last year I went a bit overboard - I actually made up by own level, higher than the ones offered. This year, I'm setting my sights a bit more realistically. I am signing up for the Master level, which means I need to read 16-20 nonfiction books this year. I've got one down, just fifteen to go!

This challenge is hosted by me! I've always wanted to read all of the Newbery winners, and this challenge is helping me to do so. I'm signing up for the Spinelli level, which means I need to get between 30 and 44 points. (You can check out the original post to see the rules and the explanation of points.) Time to raid my library for some Newbery books!

I think I may actually be done signing up for reading challenges. Which means I need to do one last thing - admit that I am a Reading Challenge Addict! I am attempting the In Flight level, which means I need to complete 11 - 15 reading challenges. I've signed up for 15. Here's a list of them:

 - Mount TBR
 - I Love Library Books
 - Birthday Month
 - Hard Core Re-reading
 - What's in a Name?
 - Color Coded
 - Victorian Bingo
 - Reading England
 - Around the World in 12 Books
 - European
 - Chunkster
 - Alphabet Soup
 - Authors A-Z
 - Nonfiction
 - Newbery

You can check out my progress on my Reading Challenges 2015 page. Here's hoping I get all of them done!

    My name is Julie, and I own a lot of books. As in, they are stacked on the floor because I've run out of room on the shelves. And those shelves? There are so many books on them that they smile -- not sag; smile. This blog will cover book reviews and all manner of other bookish things.

    You can contact me at julie@smilingshelves.com.
