I currently have three reading projects going:
Reading Buddies
Reading Buddies is a two-part project aimed at tackling my TBR lists (both classics and reading goals) along with any other readers who might be interested. Readers are welcome to suggest books for us to read together informally. Books that are chosen frequently become informal monthly group reads. Anyone is welcome to participate, regardless of whether you have your own blog!
For details and to suggest books, please see the Reading Buddies page.
The Classics Reclamation Project
The Classics Reclamation Project, or C.R.P., is my ongoing personal classics project. I may read any classics I wish, in any order, as quickly or slowly as I want, so long as at all times one of the books I’m reading or listening to is a classic.
Guidelines for what counts as a classic for the project and lists of the books I hope to read and have already read are available on the Classics Reclamation Project page.
just READ it.
just READ it, or JRI, is my newest project, focused on the books and authors I consider “hard.” That might mean they’re long, or dense, or confusing, or intimidating, or far outside my comfort zone, or written by a “hard” author, or so universally beloved I’m afraid I’ll be the only person in the world who doesn’t see their brilliance. Some of the “hard” books I’ve tackled in the past have become favorites, and I’m hoping some of those I read for JRI will as well.
There are no official rules for JRI. It’s more a way for me to keep those “hard” books on my radar and encourage myself to pick them up. Details, plus the books I’ve read, are listed on the just READ it page.
