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 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?

Found this late in the year, but I would love to be added to your pinterest board. I am already following (user name is HeyJude). I really like the challenge and have hit a few of these with my current book club. Thanks!
I know I found this Pinterest group late, but I would like to join. I have read 42 books so far this year and I am sure I could apply many of them to your 12 book challenge. Thank you.
It’s not too late! I just sent an invite to this email address.
Will you be doing a challenge for 2016? Happy New Year!
