This is where I’m collecting the posts where I’ve set myself a challenge and also the posts where I wrap that challenge up. Lately, I find I like having both (though that doesn’t always appear to have been the case).
The first helps me delineate what I want to actually accomplish and provides some accountability for sticking to it. (Having a list to check things off of is immensely satisfying!) I’ve honestly been more successful at some challenges than others. There are plenty of half-finished challenges scattered throughout this blog’s history. (Some were always meant to be ongoing, some I forgot about, some I simply failed at.)
And I find that I need the wrap-up post to make me actually let the challenge go. This is especially true when I set a challenge using a common book title or cover image. Whenever I see a new one, I want to add it to the challenge. But you have to actually stop at some point and call it finished.
So, here are the challenges See Sadie Read is and/or has run over the years.
