Whew. Nothing like cutting it close to get this published before the New Year. I have been dealing with a bum knee. You'd think that a knee wouldn't prevent me from doing things like knitting Christmas hats to all my relatives or creating a reading challenge, but I've discovered that a bad knee slows down everything. Like cleaning the litterboxes? Used to take 15-20 minutes (I have a lot of cats) and now I'm taking an hour or more because I have to take breaks and rest. Not fun at all.
Unfortunately my lovely friend Good Karma is dealing with some family issues and was unable to do her magic with the graphics. Please send out lots of good thoughts her way. In the meantime I had to polish off my (limited) graphic skills and make everything pretty. I know it's not up to her caliber, but I'm pretty happy with myself.
I've seen plenty of folks asking about a challenge for 2022, though, so I definitely wanted to push myself and get this done. Maybe I'll even push myself to start on my 2023 challenge soon so that I'll be ahead of the game next year.
So here it is, the 2022 Pick Your Poison Reading Challenge:
Thanks again for checking out my reading challenge!
Will be taking part this year = looks like a great challenge
ReplyDeleteI'm joining again. I set my level at Fortnightly last year, then kept going to see how far I got with the rest of the list, and will be doing the same for next year. I got all the categories last year, including all the Wildcards.
ReplyDeleteHappy to be joining for the first time this year. Only found your challenge in October and I'm excited for the 2022 list. My friend is joining me and we are going to attempt the 52 pickup, and each choose on prompt from each category.
ReplyDeleteI will definitely do this since I asked :)

So excited to give PYP a try this year! Thank you so much for putting it together!
ReplyDeleteI was intending on cutting down my reading challenges but this one looks like a lot of fun. Count me in!! Seen at Shelleyrae’s bookdout.
ReplyDeleteSaw this challenge at https://myreadersblock.blogspot.com/2021/12/pick-your-poison-challenge-2022.html and decided to try the Baker's Dozen. I hadn't planned on any more challenges in 2022, but this looks fun!
ReplyDeleteSound great. Are there any rules?
ReplyDeleteLike starting a book only ij 2022 or started in 2021 count roo.
I like to join. On goodreads I'm going for 52. But for this one I want to go for Fortnightly.
I got 2 other challenges starting.
Is there a hashtag for this? is #PYPReadingChallenge okay?
ReplyDeletei am going to give this a try again this year. got through most of the prompts last year but still aiming for 52 Pickup I like Veronica's hashtag so I will use that as well

ReplyDeleteThanks! This looks great.
ReplyDeleteIs there a group to share books read on
ReplyDeleteis it too soon to ask if there will be a 2023 version? :) I enjoy this challenge so much!
ReplyDeleteI'm working on it this weekend! Hopefully I can get it out a little earlier this year. I'm so glad to know you enjoy it.
DeleteLooking forward to seeing the new list!
DeleteJust curious - what was the intent behind the "animal families" prompt? Was it meant to be about animal classification, or a book where the characters are a family of animals? Planning to take on this challenge (and/or the 2023 version) starting in January!
ReplyDeleteSorry for the delay in responding--somehow I missed your comment before.
DeleteHonestly I try to leave the interpretation open to you. I originally planned to read a non-fiction book about octopuses to fill that slot for myself, but I think I ended up reading a book about a hamster princess. I enjoy pushing myself to be open about what fits each category, and I hope others are creative, too!
Done! Thanks for hosting!
