2012 E-Book Reading Challenge

This reading challenge is being presented by The Eclectic Bookshelf!

This is where I will be listing the e-books I read this year!

I am hoping to make the Mega Size Challenge = 25+ e-books.

2012 Reading Challenge - Read 150 books in 2012!

I know I talked about not participating in a lot of challenges this year, but I am participating in the 2012 Reading Challenge at Goodreads.  I will be adding all the books I read for all the challenges and hope that I can read at least 150 books.  Last year I read 148 books so I am hoping that I can get to 150 in 2012!  

Wish me luck!

2012 TBR Pile Challenge!

This challenge is hosted by Roof Beam Reader.

The Goal: To finally read 12 books from your “to be read” pile (within 12 months).

I participated (and failed miserably at) this challenge in 2011.  Although there are still months left in 2011 - I know that there is no way I can finish my list and have resigned myself to the knowledge that I FAILED at this one, so.....I will try again in 2012.  I have moved many of my 2011 list to my 2012 list in hopes that the coming year will provide me with the opportunity to move them from the TBR stack to the Read and Reviewed stack.  Wish me luck!

Here is my list:

1. The City of Bones by Cassandra Clare

2. Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater (have ALL her books, been to two signings and still this series is wasting away on the TBR in hopes of seeing the R & R stack).

3. Fallen by Lauren Kate

4. Hush Hush by Becca Fitzpatrick

5. Nightshade by Andrea Cremer

6. Howl's Moving Castle by Diane Wynne Jones

7. Glass Houses by Rachel Caine

8. Betrayed by P. C. Cast

9. Chosen by P. C. Cast

10. Darkness Becomes Her by Kelly Keaton

11. Vesper by Jeff Sampson

12. The Darkest Night by Gena Showalter (another FAILED challenge read)

Off the Shelf 2012 Reading Challenge

Hosted by Bookish Ardour, the Off the Shelf.

I am choosing the "Trying" level.  I am going to try to read as many books off my currently overflowing shelves, but I am committing to read the "Trying" level of 15 books.

Wish me luck!

2012 Bucket List Reading Challenge

This challenge is hosted by The Eclectic Bookshelf.

The 2012 "Bucket List" Reading Challenge is the challenge to sign up for if YOU have a list of books that you are dying to read but just haven't gotten to them yet.  The rules are simple for this challenge and I've also included a couple of sample "Bucket" Lists to provide a good starting point.  NOTE:  The link titled "Bucket List" Books is a list that I created and if you would like to add books to that list I encourage you to.

Rules:
1. Challenge starts on January 1, 2012 and goes until December 31, 2012.
2. You don't need a blog to participate.
3. Create a "sign up" post and link to the linky below.
4. There are 4 levels to this challenge....
      a. The Mini Cooper level - 4 "bucket" list books
      b. The Mid-sized Sedan level - 8 "bucket" list books
      c. The Pick Up level - 12 "bucket" list books
      d. The Semi level - 13 or more "bucket" list books

(I am choosing the Pick Up level - I figure one book per month should be doable!)
