Join 2015GRC


Sign In and Challenge Rules

As in the past, the 2015 Global Reading Challenge (2015GRC) challenges you to expand your reading boundaries, go where you haven't been before, move a little outside your comfort zone.

You may read any genre so long as the books are fiction.

Decide which level you will attempt, although you can change that later if you wish.
Use the Mr Linky below to sign up with your name, the level you intend to attempt, and your blog URL.

Feel free to include the logo in your blog posts or on your blog (with a link to this page)

Your reading will take place in the calendar year 2015.
When you are ready to add books to the Mr Linkies provided, return to this blog and look the links to the specific pages for Continents on the right. There is a Mr Linky on each page. Feel free to leave comments too.

You may like to consult Global Reading Challenges for 2011, 2010, 2012, 2013, and 2014 for suggestions of books.

Please advertise the  2015 Global Reading Challenge (2015GRC) on your blog and direct your readers back to this page.

My final post for GRC 2010 shows you what it can look like.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The Easy Challenge
Read one novel from each of these continents in the course of 2014:

Africa, Asia, Australasia/Oceania, Europe, North America, South America (please include Central America where it is most convenient for you)

The Seventh Continent (here you can either choose Antarctica or your own ´seventh´ setting, eg the sea, the space, a supernatural/paranormal world, history, the future – you name it).

From your own continent: try to find a country, state or author that is new to you
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Medium Challenge
Read two novels from each of these continents in the course of 2014:

Africa, Asia, Australasia/Oceania, Europe, North America, South America (please include Central America where it is most convenient for you)

The Seventh Continent (here you can either choose Antarctica or your own ´seventh´ setting, eg the sea, the space, a supernatural/paranormal world, history, the future – you name it).

From your own continent: try to find a country, state or author that is new to you.

Try to find novels from fourteen different countries or states.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Expert Challenge
Read three novels from each of these continents in the course of 2014:

  1. Failed last year.(Missed one Africa and never made it to the 7th continent), but will try for medium level again this year.

  2. I used a slightly different list of continents: North America, Central American/Caribbean, South America, Africa, Europe, Middle East, Asia, and Australia/Pacific. I read one book from all of them except for Africa and South America, so I did read 6 mysteries. I'm going to read at least one from each of these this year. I like the idea of the 7th continent- I'll try for that too. Thanks for the inspiration!
