It's that time of year again! I'm noticing more and more new challenges popping up for and decided to be better prepared or I'd go overboard like 2012 (over 50? yikes!). I didn't plan on joining so many so I need to be very careful as we head into the end of the year. {edited: so much for being careful!}
There have been so many great challenges offered in the past that I just want to join them all. There is a small problem. I don't read enough! Never thought I'd say it but it's true.
This year, I'll need to take into consideration three things: I want to challenge myself, help advertise challenges, and have a small chance of completing them! Dropping favorites will be difficult but I really enjoyed taking time off and plan to do so again in 2013. So far it's just a link list in my sidebar but who knows how far it will go.
{another edit: I know I won't be completing most of these so I've upped the levels I'm going for}

Looking forward to seeing which ones you join. I'm always amazed how many books you read--did I see 231 to date so far?
