The 2015 Reading Challenge.

Readers, get ready. It’s the first-ever Modern Mrs Darcy Reading Challenge, and it’s gonna be great.

Here’s the deal: read 12 books in 12 different categories in 12 months. It’s simple and doable. But it provides the structure you need to approach your reading list with intention in 2015.

The 2015 Reading Challenge. I'm starting now!

The 12 categories are practical and flexible. They’ll bend to fit your TBR list, but they’ll also challenge you to explore new territory, revisit old favorites, and finally read those books you’ve been putting off for years.

(I did include the rather fluffy “a book you chose because of the cover,” because—let’s face it—we all do it.)

Track the books you’re reading: I’m actually using a paper reading journal for the first time in years, but I’ll still update Goodreads.

I’ve also created a group Pinterest board for the reading challenge for inspiration and motivation. To join the board, follow me on Pinterest (or Pinterest won’t let me invite you). Then leave a comment below with your Pinterest email address. (If you’d rather not leave your email address in comments, email me at modern mrs darcy (at) gmail (dot) com.)

Let’s get started! Pin the challenge graphic for inspiration and share it with your fellow book-lovers. We’ll revisit the challenge periodically to share what we’re reading.

Are you in? What are you most looking forward to reading in 2015?

UPDATE: Download the printable here.

    Now this is wonderful. This will help to expand my reading! My mom has about 100 “The Best Book I Ever Read” books, so she will enjoy picking one for me. 🙂
    A few I’m looking forward to reading: Peace Like A River, The hardest peace : expecting grace in the midst of life’s hard and The Light Between Oceans.

    This is fantastic Anne!! I’ve set a few goals via the Cover to Cover group on Goodreads, and will add these to the list. Apart from aiming for a specific number of books, I’ve never thought to aim for reading goals, so am loving this new approach to ‘what will I read next?’.

    This sounds wonderful! I have a general number of books I shoot for within a year, but it’s always lovely to have structure. Thanks for doing this! I’m already following your board, and now have to make my first choice!

    I’m going to try the Popsugar Reading Challenge this year…but i like your idea of one book a month. It leaves lots of room for reading as the mood takes you. I have a question: how do you use a paper reading journal? I am an avid goodreads user, but I’m intrigued by the idea of a reading journal.

    Reply
    • Anne says:

      I thought the Popsugar one looked fun (if a bit crazy specific in places). I haven’t used a paper reading journal in YEARS, but I just ordered one. We’ll talk about reading journals and tracking books on the blog next week. 🙂

  21. kristen says:

    oh Anne, sorry quick question. Do I have to read the categories in the month they are listed, or hypothetically could I read all 12 in one month?
    Also what would one do if their mother does not like to read.. sad but true.

    Reply
    • Anne says:

      You can read one a month or twelve in one month. 🙂 And if your mom doesn’t like to read, or you don’t have a mother figure in your life, borrow a favorite from somebody else’s mother.

        I just finished the “Girl With The Dragon Tattoo” series, in addition to the “Tattooed Girl” unauthorized guide, in 3 1/2 days. Another series, I recommend from my mom’s suggestion was the “Outlander” series by Diana Gabaldon. But just a hint…while you may want to binge, you will be unable to do so…as there are 8 books in the series…plus a sub-series…plus several novellas (although I have to admit, I have not read the novellas), oh and did I mention, the “Outlandish Companion”. Also, I have read the Sir A.C.Doyle’s Sherlocks…and yet another push for your perusal is any book by Ellis Peters.

    I’m in, I’ve copied the list and will keep track. Will have trouble with the one of reading a book your mother liked, my mother died many years ago and though she liked to read I can’t remember what she read.

      In that case borrow another mother’s book list. You could go real life or fictional. (What did Tami Taylor like to read, or Claire Huxtable, or Marmie?)

    One of the best things about being part of a book club is reading (and loving!) books that wouldn’t normally be in my nightstand TBR stack. When I moved 2 years ago, I never would have thought that my reading would suffer, but the sad truth is, as much as I try to be diverse, I somehow seem to pick the same types of books over and over again. I love the categories that you chose, and I can’t wait to dive in!

    This is a GREAT idea and I’m already trying to think of books to fill out some of the categories. My mom was a big fan of Jan Karon’s Mitford books and I’ve never read any of them, so I think I’ll put one of those on my list for sure!

    I don’t do Pinterest (one of those “so many websites, so little time” things for me), but I’ve joined the challenge.

    In the “books you’ve been meaning to read” category, I’ve been going through my Kindle and starting books I got for free more than a year ago, but never read. So far I’ve made through the first chapter of 10 books before deleting them – poorly written, too many typos and grammar errors, etc. No wonder they were free. 🙂

    I’ve found one so far which is good enough to keep reading; it’s called Invisible, a mystery about an elderly woman who stumbles into solving a mystery.

Although, to be honest, I love that one of the categories is “a book from your childhood.” I am excited to have an “excuse” to reread, “Little House in the Big Woods,” 35 years after I first got lost in that book!

    Joining a little late, but I’m in! 🙂 [email protected] on Pinterest. I am so busy with school and working that I think this will help me feel like I am actually making progress on my To Be Read mountain. Yes, it is a mountain at this point. 😉

    I’m a bit late in joining, but would love to all the same. Have just finished a book recommended to me by someone who knows a lot about books and also read a childhood fave last month! My Pinterest name is @karendgoss.

    Super late here, but would love an invite to the Pinterest group! Such a great idea — as a grad student, this encouragement to read for fun could either save my sanity or be my downfall! 🙂 My Pinterest name is ctremill.

    I love this version: Finally, a doable chart for the rest of us. With 1 husband, 2 kids, and 125 high school students, the book-a-week challenges won’t work. I’ve shared this feasible with my high school students and will be sharing this with my own website readers as well (giving you full credit and linking to your site with both shares, of course) .

    Thank you for inspiring us!

    Two more categories and then I’m done! Book I should have read in highschool (Inherit the Wind) and Book by My Favorite Author (Wintersmith by Terry Pratchett). My goal is to complete it by the end of April.

    I just discovered your blog today. I’m smitten, although your banner keeps creeping down and covering up what I’m trying to read. I am going to jump into the challenge now and get caught up (or search my Goodreads account to see if I’ve read books that fit for some of the categories already this year). My email is [email protected], and I would love to join in!
