2011 Reading Challenges
I’ve decided to participate in a few challenges this year. There were a lot more I would have liked to join, but I know I will only read so many books in one year so I limited myself to these.
What’s in a Name 4 Challenge
The What’s In A Name Challenge is hosted by Beth Fish Reads.
Between January 1 and December 31, 2011, read one book in each of the following categories:
1. A book with a number in the title
2. A book with jewelry or a gem in the title
3. A book with a size in the title
4. A book with travel or movement in the title
5. A book with evil in the title
6. A book with a life stage in the title
Audio Book Challenge
The Audio Book Challenge is hosted by Theresa’s Reading Corner.
The Challenge will run from January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011. Choose your level of participation:
Curious: 3 Audio Books
Fascinated: 6 Audio Books
Addicted: 12 Audio Books
Obsessed: 20 Audio Books
I’m choosing “Fascinated: 6 books”.
The Women of Science Fiction Book Club
Hosted by Dreams and Speculations.
The reading schedule consists of twelve science fiction novels plus an anthology. We have an entire month to read each book and prepare for review and discussion which will be held on the last day of the month. Anyone is invited to participate for one month or all twelve months, you do not need to have a blog. The short stories from the anthology will be discussed on the 15th of each month.
I am planning on reading and discusing at least 6 of the books plus the anthology.
Perpetual Challenges
I plan on reading 2 or more books from each of these challenges in 2011.
Reagan Arthur Books Challenge hosted by Kathy/Bermuda Onion and Julie/Booking Mama.
The basic idea of the challenge is really simple — to read Reagan Arthur Books. Reagan Arthur Books is a new imprint from Little, Brown & Company.
Amy Einhorn Challenge hosted by Beth Fish Reads.
This is a no-pressure challenge to read through the Amy Einhorn Books imprint in any order with no time limit.
