After a year hiatus, it seemed like a good time to revive #LibLooksReadingChallenge. Of course, the one year I decide not to do a challenge is the year that I read the most books. Who knew? I thought I would try to keep the momentum going in the new year by sharing some prompts, that will hopefully spark an interest in books I might not pick up otherwise.

I struggled for the past couple of weeks, deciding if I wanted to attempt hosting a reading challenge for the second year. While I thoroughly enjoyed it in 2018, completing all but two prompts, I seemed to be one of very few. Recognizing that sometimes things take a little bit of time to catch on, I decided to give it another go. If only a handful of people enjoy it, then so be it -- it's better than no one at all!
After reflecting on the year and looking ahead to 2018, I decided one challenge simply was not enough for me. I have been participating in style challenges for years so last year when a friend showed me a reading challenge I was stoked to try it out. It really amped up my reading -- I more than doubled the amount of books I was typically reading per year just from participating. I enjoy reading, of course, but sometimes I need some direction to help me choose what to read. This is where the challenge prompts come in. As I was picking out some of the books I am planning to read in 2018, I was not coming across some of the prompts I had hoped to see. The ones that really peaked my interest, or got me to step outside of my box. That's when I decided to create my own -- #LibLooksReadingChallenge.
