Try A Chapter Challenge #2

December 15, 2022December 12, 2022 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 2 Comments

After the success of my previous go at the Try a Chapter Challenge, I decided to do it again, only with some of the library books I had on my StoryGraph TBR. So I stopped at my usual branch of the public library and picked up another handful of books so I could read the … Continue reading Try A Chapter Challenge #2

Try a Chapter Challenge

November 29, 2022November 28, 2022 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 11 Comments

Like most readers, I own a lot of unread books. It's hard to resist cheap, interesting-looking books at the used bookstore or the library sale shelves. But as I have limited shelf space for new(er) books, I need to go through them now and then and get rid of the books I'm not going to … Continue reading Try a Chapter Challenge

Try a Chapter Challenge, pt. 1

October 3, 2018October 2, 2018 / Kim @ Traveling in Books / 3 Comments

I've seen the 'Try a Chapter Challenge' on several BookTube channels, and because I have several books that have been sitting on my shelves for quite some time, unread and routinely forgotten about, I thought I would give it a try. The idea of the challenge is to read the first chapter from a book … Continue reading Try a Chapter Challenge, pt. 1
