2013 Reading Challenges

Did you complete your reading goals in 2012? I failed by 6 books. Not too bad though considering I didn’t start until March and I didn’t really set a goal until later in the year. This year I’ve set the same goal, 50 books, but I’ve got 2 months head start compared to last year and I’ve decided to participate in some challenges to make it more fun and help keep my consistent. I’m just going to join the lowest level in each one to start with so as not to overwhelm myself. I can always move up if necessary.

Without further ado, here are the challenges I’ve decided to try. I may add others later but these are the ones I’ve decided on for now.
