The 40 Book Challenge was a good thing to keep your self motivator to keep reading more and more. It gave me a goal to work at, and to complete that goal, I had to keep reading. I told myself "If you want it done, you are going to have to read a lot" Which is good because you have to read to get better at thing in real life. I think the motivation comes from the the challenge it posed. I know that I always like a good challenge to keep at. It makes me feel really happy when I finally overcome that challenge. I think that it was another good way to spend tim rather than to do less constructive things like watching TV or something.
Another great thing about the 40 Book Challenge is that you get to try many new books and see if you like them. I thought this was great because I found so many books that I thought were really good. Then what I thought of the last book would want me to read more books! From reading "The Boy Who Dared" I discovered I liked historical nonfiction. I thought the story was very interesting and even more interesting that it actually happened. Overall, I think the 40 book challenge was a excellent thing to keep working at.
I liked how you mentioned that the challenge was kind of like a self motivator to a person. I do agree with you because if you read more books throughout your life, you will probably succeed. In my opinion I always like a good challenge because it makes you feel more confident about yourself when you overcome that challenge. I also discovered that I liked reading historical fiction after I started reading the Wednesday Wars which talks a lot about the Vietnam War. Great Blog Post.
