It’s officially 2017, and with a new year comes new challenges and new books! Both help us grow and see the world in new ways from new perspectives we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Combining the two to make a Book Challenge seems like the perfect way to kick off 2017! I actually came up with two book challenges this year and to keep it real they can intertwine!
Book Challenge #1
First up we have the new #ReadALution2017. What’s so revolutionary about this challenge? Instead of being a “monthly read-a-long” the only rule in this quirky and eclectic challenge is to finish by December 31,2017. Do any category whenever! Post pictures of what your reading for which category so we can all explore the different books! I personally can’t wait to see what y’all pick! Don’t forget to hashtag your pics #ReadALution2017 and Mention @ SouthernBookish so I can see y’alls books!

Book Challenge #2
10 Books TBR 2017 Challenge
1. Grab 10 books off of your shelves, snap a quick pic no over thinking needed. (Don’t have 10 unread books on your shelves? Either give yourself a pat on the back or go buy some books! or both;) Pick however many you have unread and go for it.)
2. Post your pic and hashtag #10TBR2017 on whatever social media you use…instagram, blog, periscope about it whatever you use go for it. (Don’t forget to mention @ SouthernBookish so I can see y’alls challenges!)
3. Read those books! Post pics when you’re finished or starting the next book…leave comments on how you liked what you read:) Have fun with this y’all! You could even keep track on goodreads…whatever floats your boat. We have a whole year so take your time…read other things in between but keep the goal:)
