I’m continuing my multi-year challenge to read something from or about every country in the world (and a few additional cultures besides, like Greenland and indigenous U.S. and Deaf culture). Mostly fiction, but all sorts of approaches, just to touch on a little taste of everywhere.
I find reading challenges of all types get me reading books beyond “the usual” that I’d habitually select. Makes my life richer.

@Carolee Yes, I prefer challenges where I am inspired to read new things. I did "around the world" with folktales, but I am very tempted to start another round with women's memoirs/biographies...
(And of course I’m doing your challenge on StoryGraph, because nonfiction is a rare choice for me and it should be fascinating to try!)
@TarkabarkaHolgy The only challenges I follow are those on PageBound, but at the end of the day are just reading lists about a specific topic or vibe

@judgyweevil Some of those are really great!
Having gorged on non-fiction all year. I would like to find a challenge about approaching international poetry I've never encountered from cultures I don't know, preferably with some way of being introduced to the different patterns of rhythm and rhyme etc.
Very long hashtag though :)
@TarkabarkaHolgy not really, to be honest. lately, any perceived “prescribed reading” has been not for me, even if the prescription is self-imposed
