Period of challenge: January 15, 2015 – January 15, 2016
Yep, it’s a little bit late, but I hope you are still interested in doing another round of challenge – Lucky No.15. After having fun in Lucky No.14 last year, I finally decided to host another year of this challenge.
The rules are still the same like last year, with some slight changes. I still used some favorite categories from last year and add some new ones.
This challenge will require you to read 15 books (or more) from 15 categories below. You can combine the books you read with other challenges, but can not use the same book for different categories in this challenge.
Try to match the categories from your TBR piles 🙂 But if you don’t have any suitable books in your TBR – and want to find an excuse to buy a book for this challenge, that’s totally fine too!
Here are the 15 categories:
- Chunky Brick: Grab that book with more than 500 pages that you’d always been afraid to tackle. You know you can do it!
- Something New: Just purchased a book lately? Don’t let it buried in your stacks, read it now!
- Something Borrowed: Read a book that you borrowed from someone else. Don’t make the owner waiting forever for you to finish it. (Books borrowed from friends, libraries, or even rental places, are allowed)
- It’s Been There Forever: Dig your TBR pile and read a book that has been there more than a year. It’s time for you to appreciate it 🙂
- Freebies Time: What’s the LAST free book you’ve got? Whether it’s from giveaway, a birthday gift or a surprise from someone special, don’t hold back any longer. Open the book and start reading it now 😀
- Bargain All The Way: Ever buying a book because it’s so cheap you don’t really care about the content? Now it’s time to open the book and find out whether it’s really worth your cents.
- Favorite Color: Pick a book from your shelf which has your favorite color for its cover! Is it pink, red or black? You decide.
- First Initial: Read a book that has been written by an author whose first initial is the same with you (Example: My name is Astrid, and I can read anything written by Agatha Christie, Aesop, Arthur Conan Doyle, etc)
- Super Series: Read one (or more!) books that belong in a series, it can be trilogy, or tetralogy, or anything.
- Opposites Attract: Read a book that’s been written by a writer whose gender is different from your own.
- Randomly Picked: Ask someone else (a friend, your spouse, even your kids!) to randomly pick a book from your TBR pile. Don’t complain whatever they choose for you, just read it 🙂
- Cover Lust: Grab a book from your shelf that you bought because you fell in love with the cover. Is the content as good as the cover?
- Who Are You Again?: You’ve never read a book from this author, maybe you haven’t even heard his/her name before. But who knows? Maybe he/she will become your new favorite author!
- One Word Only!: Read a book that only has one word for its title (number is allowed as long as it’s only consisted of one word, e.g: 1, 2, 11).
- Dream Destination: Read a book that has setting in a place you’ve never visited before – but would like to if you have a chance. Could be real places or even fictional!
RULES:
1. To complete the challenge, you have to read at least one book for each category, or total of 15 books during the challenge period. Format of books are free, it can be e-book, printed book, audiobook, etc. You can set your own pace and do not need to follow the categories in particular order. You can also read more than one book for each category. You have to write your reviews/comments (doesn’t have to be long) in your blog/FB note/Goodreads page/tumblr/etc.
2. Please write a master post about this challenge in your blog/Goodreads/FB notes/etc, and submit your link below for signing up. You can use this master post to sort down the book(s) that you’ll read for each category, and edit them later if necessary. The sign-up linky will be opened from January 15, 2015 throughout the year until December 15, 2015.
3. There are also linkies for each category of the challenge. Please submit your link of review posts for each category in their respective linkies. These linkies will be opened in January 15, 2015 until January 15, 2016.
4. At the end of the challenge, write down a wrap-up post and submit the link in the linky too. The linky for wrap-up posts will be opened until January 31, 2016 to give you more time for wrapping things up. It’s okay if you don’t finish the challenge but you are not eligible to be selected as the winner.
5. After the wrap up post linky is closed, I will pick two lucky winners who had completed the challenge for winning great bookish prizes (including book vouchers, novels, and other exclusive bookish gimmicks/goodies 🙂 ) The prizes will be revealed soon, so please stay tuned. You must have delivery address in Indonesia to be eligible for the two grand prizes.
6. If you are an international participant who doesn’t have Indonesian mailing address, don’t worry, I’ll also choose two winners, each winner can pick any book from The Book Depository for maximum of $ 12.
7. I’ll try to write a round-up post every month and pick some of the most interesting reviews. And who knows? Probably there will be some surprise gifts and giveaways throughout the year 🙂
Now, let’s start this wonderful 2015 and get ready to tackle some great books!
ps: If you have any questions, please shout it out in the comment below. Reviews/questions/comments can be in English or Bahasa Indonesia 🙂

I’ll be there when I write posts – soon. Thank you again for the LOVELY post about one of my challenges! May I say, even if you changed dates by being late: I have been **urging** hostesses to stop doing challenges Jan 1 – Dec 31 because it’s too much hassle, when we are supposed to be enjoying Christmas and New Year’s eve! That’s why mine begin in February. I am very happy that we’re running yours at least from Jan 15, Astrid! https://cmriedel.wordpress.com/riedel-challenges-2015/
astrid.lim said:
haha yes, I was so busy at the end of last year so I decided to start late..Thanks for also hosting the Riedel Challenges 🙂
Malin said:
Yay! I’m so delighted that you decided to create another challenge. Thank you! Your challenge was one of the most fun I did last year. I really like the looks of some of the new categories. I haven’t made a reading list yet, but am very much looking forward to planning my future reading now!
astrid.lim said:
yeaaay 🙂 thanks malin, I’m glad you had some fun last year…Goodluck for this year!

Mbak Astrid, maaf sepertinya saya salah masukkin link di Bargain All The Way sama It’s Been There Forever. Kedua link reviewnya gak masuk periode, aku gak baca periodenya ternyata dimulai tanggal 15 januari. Keduanya sebelum 15 januari. Mau dihapus linknya, tapi gak bisa. Maaf *bow* ^^
astrid.lim said:

Siro said:
Spertinya saya selalu membuat kesalahan ketika masukkin link di linky,. maaf ya, mbak Astrid kalau ada posting link yang double dari saya, mungkin efek suka ngisi linky di malam hari dan rekap langsung. Jadi, suka teledor 😦

Malin said:
Hi, I’ve made a silly mistake. When trying to post my latest review in “Opposites Attract”, the link for the previous book I linked (in “Favourite Colour”, because it’s purple), also got linked in the “Opposites Attract” category. Will Grayson, Will Grayson is NOT supposed to be there, it was supposed to be An Abundance of Katherines (which I have also linked). Please remove it from the list, as I don’t seem to be able to delete it myself.

btw aku msh ragu nih, setelah aku masukin nama sama URL apa itu sudah selesai daftar atau masih harus ada register yg lain? Terus wrap up post itu apa dan gimana buatnya kak?
astrid.lim said:
halo, thank you ya udah ikutan 🙂 daftarnya udah kok gitu aja.
kalau wrap up post, isinya sebenernya hanya list buku yang sudah dibaca untuk challenge ini. semacam summary dari apa yang sudah dicapai selama challenge ini berlangsung 🙂

Imam Rahmanto said:
Saya punya beberapa pertanyaan, berhubung karena saya baru pertama kali mengikuti event keren seperti ini
1. Apa yang dimaksud dengan TBR?
2. Apakah buku-buku yang dibaca itu, selain kategori#3, harus merupakan kepunyaan sendiri atau koleksi pribadi?
3. Bagaimana seandainya ada satu buku yang termasuk dalam dua atau lebih kategori?
4. Untuk review buku, bolehkah mem-postingnya di tempat yang berbeda-beda? Semisal, buku A saya review di Goodreads, sementara buku B saya memposting review-nya di personal blog.
Thanks. 😀
astrid.lim said:
Halo! Saya coba jawab pertanyaannya ya:
1. TBR artinya To Be Read, jadi buku2 yang sudah diniatkan untuk dibaca. biasanya sudah dibeli dan ditimbun, tapi belum sempat dibaca 🙂
2. Tidak perlu, bisa aja buku pinjeman dari orang lain/pinjem di perpus 🙂
3. Nah, khusus untuk Lucky No. 15, memang satu buku hanya boleh masuk ke satu kategori saja. Tujuannya, supaya masing-masing peserta setidaknya bisa membaca minimal 15 buku total.
4. Boleh, bebas kok. yang penting link nya dimasukkan ke “linky” di kategori tersebut, biar memudahkan pendataan.
Imam Rahmanto (@Imam_Rahmanto) said:
Okay. Thanks. I’ll try!! 😀 #semangat

fheyui said:
Mbak, mau nanya.
Buat kategori First Initial, gak punya buku yang nama depan penulisnya F nih, kalau masukin buku Gayle Forman, boleh gak?
Dan buat kategori One Word Only, Dilan termasuk gak, ya?
terakhir, ini update list bacaannya sampai 15 Desember 2015 atau boleh sampai 15 Januari 2016?
astrid.lim said:
Halo, untuk First Initial memang idenya sih harus inisial nama pertama author, tapi kalau memang nggak ada, masih diperbolehkan untuk pakai nama belakang author yang sesuai dengan inisial nama kamu 🙂
Update bacaan bisa sampai Januari 2016.
Good luck!
jamie said:
Will you be doing one of these this year, too?
astrid.lim said:
Hi Jamie, I’m sorry, I will skip the Lucky challenge this year – and sorry for being a crappy host for last year’s challenge!! I hope I will be back in 2017 with more preparation and cooler challenge 🙂 thanks for joining the Lucky No 15!
RIEDEL Fascination said:
Happy new year 2016 from your hostess in prairie Canada! Please remove #69 in “something new”. I experimented with accepted name length, until titles & authors weren’t cut off. Please watch for my new groups – to be announced at my blog soon. Yours warmly, Carolyn.
astrid.lim said:
Happy new year Carolyn! I’m sorry for being a crappy host last year and also failing your reading challenge 😦 I will check out your blog for the new challenge 🙂
