Maxine Robinson I realised today that i had so many challenges on the go, i needed to find a way to keep track of them all, that was easier than what i had been doing and then bam, i found this group.... added 5 more challenges to my pile and then found this section. Winning all round.

Nick Green (nickppgreen2014) Hi Maxine!

It might be a good just to use this thread - your own personal space, if you will - as a way to keep track of your challenges.

That's the best idea I can think of at the moment.

Maxine Robinson RC May Marathon

My aim is 5000 pages for the month of May. Its probably a little ambitious, as its over 1000 more than what i read this month, but its worth a shot.

2,967/5,000

Final Tally for this is 3,479/5,000
I came up short, but considering the reading slump i was in at the start of the month i'm happy with it.

Maxine Robinson SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOES
Duration: June 1 - June 30, 2016

Recent studies are proving what us readers have known for a long time - reading helps us to build empathy for people who are different than us. To paraphrase Atticus Finch from To Kill a Mockingbird, you never really know a person until you step into their shoes and walk around for a bit, and reading allows us to do that.

For this challenge, read books about people from different backgrounds than you, including race, religion, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, or others.

Set a goal for how many books to read and step into someone else's shoes.

3/3

Completed
