Last year I failed as a blogger. But I want this year to be different in a number of ways. Most notably, I want to get back to being really interactive with you all. I just finished my first book for my 2017 Reading Challenge and it’s time to pick a new requirement to fulfill and I want you all to help me out!
Obviously I can’t run a simple poll when there are 24 choices, so just comment and let me know which requirement you’d like to see me tackle next.
And it’s only day 2 of 2017! You have all the time in the world to get started on my challenge!
Which requirement do you want to see me tackle next?

Your goals for reading this year is awesome. Yes, I failed as a blogger as well and plan on getting into to again heavy. I was busy with my YouTube channel that I neglected my first baby.

My overall goal is 50 books. The challenge is just a part of it. I just want to be better than last year.

I totally get it. I didn’t know you wrote a book. I just checked it out on amazon and read some reviews. I am going to purchase it and read it sometime this year.

Oh boy. I just recently reviewed it. I imagine you’ll have some of the same problems I did when I reread it.

Gosh, I have read some childrens’ books by Neil Gaiman but have got stuck on American Gods. Good luck with your challenge.

Uh oh. That’s the book I’ll be reading when I decide to do that one. Because it’s easily the most recommended book I know of. I can’t tell you how many times someone has told me to read it.

My hubbie loved it and it is quite an amazing piece.

Okay something weird happened on my app. So if you got a bunch of replies from me, it’s because my app wasn’t working. Sorry!

Only this one. Also, I’m reading A Wrinkle in Time. I think you’ve told me you like the series. I think?

Yes, I do. I love it. It was a very formative series when I was growing up. About the other note, I had voted for Shakespeare next and the app wouldn’t send the message, then it said it sent it six times. Anywho… I hope you like it better this go around.

I’ll finish it today. I’m reserving judgment until the end. Also, I’ve only read one play of his. Romeo and Juliet. I was assigned others but never actually read them. My senior year of high school we read Hamlet and I would score very high on all the tests and quizzes, but I could not tell you a single thing about the play. Class discussions for the win! 😂

Macbeth has always been, and probably will always be my favorite Shakespeare play. It’s dark and mysterious and morbid and awesome! But I’ll try not to read that one this year. I also love Shakespeare’s sonnets and have a copy of them that I take most places with me. I’m going to read A Midsummer Night’s Dream this year, I think. Although I’ve seen the play, I’ve never read it.

I don’t know anything about either one of those. Although I’m coning up with an image of Michele Pfeiffer for some reason. Probably mistaking her role in an adaptation.

Ahaha!! I have no idea what Michelle Pfeiffer has to do with that play. I’ve never seen a movie adaptation, only a stage production.

I’ll have to check. I’m curious now.

I knew it! 1999. There was a movie. I’ve never seen it. Which makes this whole thing all the more odd.

Hmmm… does a comic book written by Neil Gaiman count as two? Thanks for visiting my blog; since you say you’ve “failed as a blogger,” I could use your comments on this post. Judging from the number of comments you are getting, I’d say yours is anything but failing!
Be sure to check out my short story, too, at Cow Pasture Chronicles.

Nope. Can’t use the same book for multiple requirements. Then the challenge isn’t really 25 books.

Then why do it at all if you just want to sidestep the requirements?

A book you were assigned in school. I’m kinda obsessed with either catching what I missed or revisiting something as whomever the hell I am now.

Haha! I have a few choices for that one. Gatsby. Dracula. Jurassic Park. And a few I don’t own personally.

You’re NOT saying you’ve not read Gatsby?!?!

Whoops. I have. I honestly don’t remember the story too well at this point, but I have. I think I can name the characters. Daisy. Nick. Jay Gatsby. Right? And I know it’s supposed to be a metaphor or satire or whatever of the 20s. And I know a character dies. Well maybe now that I’m thinking about it I actually remember a bit.

Oh boy. I’m peculiar in that I don’t reread books. But I reread two different books last year (the first time I’ve ever done so), so I’ve wanted to revisit that book but haven’t. Maybe I will this year and give you an updated take on it.
