This year I have so far signed up to 5 different challenges, and I'm hoping to complete them all.

So first up is:


This challenge is hosted by 'My Overstuffed Bookshelf'. She hosted the 150+ Challenge last year and that is my minimum goal so I decided to join again this year. It's self explanatory really - read 150 or more books within the year. Hoping to do even more than that but it's a good goal.

Next up is:

This challenge is hosted by 'Annette's Book Spot' the idea of this challenge is to clear all those books you have sitting round that are short enough to be read in a day.
Levels:
Level 1 - Read 15 books
Level 2 - Read 25 books
Level 3 - Read 35 books
Level 4 - Read 50+ books

I am aiming for Level 4. I passed that last year and I can usually read an average 300 page book in a day if I'm not at work etc so hopefully I'll manage it again this year.

The next challenge is a new one for me:


 This challenge is hosted by 'Reading with ABC'. And the goal is to basically finish off the series' that we have started. I have a lot of books that I've read book 1 and maybe book 2 but by the time book 3 is out, I've got distracted and never gone back and finished the series. This challenge encourages you to do so. There is no limit or target, just as many as you need.

Next is:



This challenge is hosted by 'My Reader's Block'. The goal is to read as many books off of your TBR pile as possible. As you can tell from above my pile is massive. I'm going to update the list in the next week or so and then start working through them. This is definitely the year to try and catch up a bit.

Levels:
Pike's Peak: Read 12 books from your TBR pile/s
Mount Blanc: Read 24 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Vancouver: Read 36 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Ararat: Read 48 books from your TBR piles/s
Mt. Kilimanjaro: Read 60 books from your TBR pile/s
El Toro: Read 75 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Everest: Read 100 books from your TBR pile/s
Mount Olympus (Mars): Read 150+ books from your TBR pile/s

 I am going to sign up for 'Mount Blanc - 24 books from my pile'. This seems like a reasonable place to start. If I manage it I will gradually move up. 


And lastly:
Library Books Reading Challenge is hosted by Book Dragon's Lair. The idea is to read as many books from the library that you can. I did a version of this last year and as I work in a library I hoped to find one again this year.

Requirements:
  • choose a level - you may move up as needed, just not down.
  • books may overlap with other challenges
  • reviews are not necessary but a list of books read is.
  • a blog is not necessary, just comment that you want to join in
Levels:
  • board book - 3
  • picture book - 6
  • early reader - 9
  • chapter book - 12
  • middle grades - 18
  • Young adult - 24
  • adult - 36
  • just insert IV - 50  
I am going to aim for the highest level - Just Insert IV which is to read 50 books. I read over 100 books from the library last year so I should have no problems here.


You can sign up to any of these challenges throughout the year, and I can use some of the books as cross overs so that's good.
So bring it on 2013
