I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Reading Challenges Update



I knew I needed to have some kind of update post when I realized I had read 65 books so far :)

I started 2012 with three open challenges from 2011.

I've completed four read-a-thons and have plans to participate in three more.

I'm working on 11 perpetual reading challenges.

As I love reading and reading challenges are fun, I signed-up for Reading Challenge Addict, again, and hope to complete 16 RCs this year.

There are 51 (51? yikes!) other reading challenges for 2012 that I am officially participating in. I know I'll fail some of them but I love to try. Also, small readership or not, I like to advertise the challenges.

~Challenges Failed~
The TBR Double Dare


Looks like I'm close on several and haven't started on too many but I've got time still :) I know I'll fail 50 States simply because it's hard. I have several more books picked out for it, I just have to be in the mood to read them! Some I'll count completed at the end of the year if I've met the minimum goal.

Am I nuts? ;)

How are you doing with your reading challenge goals?


Happy Reading!
