2019 Discussion Challenge
We enjoyed participating in the Book Blog Discussion Challenges for previous years, so here we go again for 2019!
The Discussion Challenge is hosted by Nicole @ Feed Your Fiction Addiction and Shannon @ It Starts at Midnight!
The Details:
- The challenge runs from January 1st until December 31st, 2019. Sign-ups will remain open through December 31st, 2019. (So, you can sign up all year long! Come join us!)
- Discussions can be about whatever you want as long as it’s relevant to books or book blogging (no discussions about things that are completely off-topic like travel or fashion, etc). They can also be about you personally if it’s a get-to-know-you type post.
- Use the hashtag #LetsDiscuss2019 to share your progress and connect with other participants on Twitter.
The Levels:
1-10 – Discussion Dabbler
11-20 – Creative Conversationalist
21-30 – Chatty Kathy
31-40 – Terrifically Talkative
41+ – Gift of the Gab
We at Chapter Break are shooting for Discussion Dabbler since we’ve been doing about one discussion post a month, excluding the crazy busy holiday months we just had this past year. That’s the goal we chose for 2018 and are happy to say we met.

Julie’s 2019 Audiobook Challenge:
Yay for another fun year of the Audiobook Challenge. This is my favorite because you know by now that audiobooks are pretty much the ONLY way I read these days.
My goal:
- Binge Listener (Why read when someone can do it for you) 20-30
I didn’t make my goal last year, so I’m backing down slightly. Wish me luck!

Lynn’s 2019 Audiobook Challenge:
I crushed my original goal of Socially Awkward in 2018. But like Julie, I just haven’t had time to sit and read as much as I would prefer. But audiobooks are keeping me sane these days.
My Goal:
- Binge Listener (Why read when someone can do it for you) 20-30
I feel like that’s a reasonable goal, in line with what I listened to in 2018.
