I normally shy away from challenges because I don't like the stress, but I believe I can handle the WOMEN'S FICTION CHALLENGE since I usually read this genre and historical fiction more than anything.
There are different levels to the challenge. I am going to go with the SAAVY level to start. :)
Visit Kathryn at The BookDate if you want to join in the fun.
********
Levels
- Motivated 1- 5
- Savvy 6 - 10
- Classy 11- 20
- Go-Getter 20 -30
- Fearless 30+
- It looks as if I have made it to Classy and then maybe a few more to come. :)
- Thanks for the encouragement, Kathryn.

ReplyDeleteThanks for hosting, Kathryn.
Delighted to have you on this challenge, know you are going to ace it!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kathryn
DeleteThanks for stopping.
Good luck to you. It does seem to be a challenge in which you would read those books anyway. I have decided not to participate in any challenges this year except for a couple I've set for myself. :)

I went for an easy one. I don't like the stress of having to read this book or this genre or a book with this subject or with this word in the title. :)
DeleteThanks for stopping, Diane.
Good luck, have fun and happy reading!!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Captivated Reader.
DeleteThanks for stopping.
I am sure you will manage this very well. I did a large challenge last year and didn't even notice it was one. Well, we'll see what I will do next year.
ReplyDeleteHappy Reading,

Thanks, Marianne.
DeleteI am reading a women's fiction right now. :) I do read a lot in that genre, so I am hoping all will be good.
Thanks for stopping, Marianne.
Hi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteChallenges just become far too stressful, so having made the decision some time ago to quit them, I don't aim to start again.
Even setting an overall reading goal on Goodreads, sets me off in a spin :)
You have a great selection of titles on your list and I know that I already have several of them on my own reading pile.
Good Luck on becoming a Go-Getter :)
Yvonne
That is why I normally do not do challenges, but women's fiction is my main reading genre so I decided it wouldn't be that stressful.
DeleteNot sure I will get much higher on the level I have reached.
Thank you as always for stopping and for your wonderful comments, Yvonne.
I will add the links to THE ORPHAN'S TALE and THE WOMEN IN THE CASTLE when the review goes live.
