Challenges

Challenges are one of my favourite parts of blogging. By the end of the year you can look back and just be happy because you accomplished so much. These are some challenges I'll be participating in, but I'm always on the lookout for more!


So I'll be participating in this one. I'm doing the 2011 one (and that reminds me, I need to start posting them reviews!) and it's been fun. Plus, this is the best way to discover new series. No question about it, I'm joining this one. What I need to do is read & review 12 2012 debuts. 


Have you guys noticed how many awesome books came out this year? Especially the debuts- wow. I'm super excited for their sequels which is what this challenge is about. Reading 10 books that are the second book of the 2011 debut authors. The sophomores must be published in 2012 though. 

My list of books to look forward to:
1. Insurgent by Veronica Roth
2. A Million Suns by Beth Revis
3. Hallowed by Cynthia Hand
4. Fever by Lauren DeStefano
5. Dreamless by Josephine Angelini 
6. Until I Die by Amy Plum
7. Truth by Julia Karr
8. Perception by Kim Harrington
9. A Beautiful Evil by Kelly Keaton 
10. Girl of Nightmares by Kendare Blake

Those are just a few- there are tons more. You can check out the Goodreads list here!




For the books that have been on my TBR list for way too long. *winces* This one is for you! This challenge is for books released at least at most in 2011 (or way before) and that have been on your TBR for a while. I'm going to try to read 11-20 books- A Friendly Hug but if it seems to go well, I'll definitely be doing more. There are some prizes and it looks like it will be fun!

Goodreads Book Challenge: 

2011 Reading Challenge

*The 2011 graphic is posted because I can't seem to find the 2012 one yet! 

This one isn't really hosted by the blogging community, but it's the one I care for the most. How many books have I read in a year. This year I'm trying to do 300 books (you can see from my widget on the sidebar I'm 91% done) and I'll try the same next year. Just a ton of fun, plus it makes me feel like I'm being productive. To participate you need a Goodreads account and whenever you read a book, you need to add it first to your "currently-reading" shelf, and then your "read" shelf when you're done. 

So those are my challenges for now. I may add more if I see something that will be challenging and sounds fun, I'll join. I may even have my own challenge... but you'll here more about that later. Like, in February. ♥ 

What are you guys joining? Excited?
