October Reading Challenge + Bucket List

[elusivek]

So I did spend some time yesterday browsing through Goodreads and their book/reading clubs. One of the clubs asked for a bucket list, and from the bucket list, choose a book that's somehow related to one of the items on the list.

So, I've been thinking about my bucket list. I never really had a list per se, but i had things that I wanted to be done. However, I've achieved some of those things, so I'm not sure, now that I'm actually writing this list, should I keep the completed stuff as well, or put new ones in?

In the end, I've decided to keep the ones I had completed as well.

My Bucket List

1. Complete the NaNoWriMo at least once (I don't remember now, but I actually completed it twice I think. I'm sure I did the 2014)


2. Get my own space (didn't get to move out, but managed to persuade Mom to actually free up the third room so now I don't have to share a room with my Sis)


3. Travel - no definite "finish line" for this one! So I can't cross it out.


4. Get a tattoo, which I did already. Considering to get another! (With a better artist)


5. Save a dog (I seem to be constantly doing this... and it will just continue, I suppose). I'm not crossing this out either... coz when one of my current dogs cross the rainbow bridge, I'll probably go save another


6. Do something daring. Which I've done just last month... walking that Skywalk thing. But I'm not crossing this out yet, coz I'm actually comtemplating the SkyJump (it's a controlled fall, not a bungee jump)

It does seem that most of the things on my list have been completed... I might go add to the list later.

And now, find a book that fits any of that.

1. NaNoWriMo.... guess I can find a book by a NaNo writer? Or a book about authors?


2. Space and rooms.... a book about apartment hunting...?? There was a Fanfiction I read about doing a house makeover that wasn't bad! LOL


3. Travel... needs to be more specific... I can't just read a travel guidebook. There's of course that "Time Traveller's Wife" or something of that name.... bestsellers, I avoid....


4. Tattoo... first thing that comes to mind is the book "Girl with the dragon tattoo" or something along those lines. Again, a bestseller at some point in time... And I tend to avoid that.


5. Dogs... sounds like a good topic, maybe I can go read another book by James Herriot. I read one of his books already, and I meant to read another, after all!


6. Adventure... Shouldn't be hard to find, I guess!

I think you should keep the completed stuff on there, it's nice to look back on the accomplishments too. But that's just my opinion.

That's awesome you've completed the nanowrimo before. I think I set out to do it once before, ages ago but didn't get too far. I was optimistic about writing for a brief time but it's just not really my thing for the most part.

SAVE ALL THE PUPPERSSSSSS!

I think it would be really neat to read a book someone else wrote for nanowrimo. Maybe someone on your flist has done it and would let you read theirs? YOU CAN TRADE!? Such a neat idea.

You're amazing for accomplishing a nanowrimo!!! I've been trying for a decade hahaha.

You know I've never really been able to come up with a bucket list for myself...I guess I'm boring..lol.

I did NanowriMo the first year I was here, and wrote like 100000 words. I never read travel guidebooks although my parents did. I prefer spontaneity and exploring by looking around myself.
