I selected the "Sweet Summer Fling" level of 31-40 books, even though I average 75 books a year, because I can always move up a level later in the year.
Why stress myself right out of the gate?
Cozy mysteries are a particular favorite genre of mine and each year I participate in the "Reading through the Cozies" challenge which, this year is hosted at Goodreads.
Super Sleuth level of 13+ cozy mysteries, which comes to about one a month.
A few months ago I renewed my Audible membership at a fantastic price for 6 months. This has also entitled me to purchase some of their "Daily Deals" which are audio books usually for less than $5. Considering I already have 5 audiobooks in a TBR pile, I might as well join this challenge, hosted by Hot Listens.
I've selected the Stenographer (can listen while multi-tasking) level of 10-15 audiobooks.
I am VERY excited about this challenge! FINALLY - a challenge that allows me to incorporate all the Astrology - Shamanic - New Age books I love to read! Thank you, thank you, thank you to Riedel Fascination for hosting this challenge!
Shooting for "The Soul" level of 31-40 books!
Another challenge I participate in regularly is The Chunkster Challenge. A chunkster is defined as a book with at least 450 pages. This year, though, there aren't any levels. At the present time I have 6 books that are chunksters in my 2014 pile, not counting audiobooks, which are allowed for the first time in the challenge.
I'm going to play it safe and say I will read 8 chunkstes in 2014. I read 13 chunksters in 2013, but no, I am not doing 14 in 2014!
For fun, I decided to join Melissa's Eclectic Bookshelf's Witches & Witchcraft Reading Challenge. I
At the Maiden level of 6-10 books. I like supernatural books, but finding specific ones with witches or witchcraft might pose a challenge.
6 challenges in total - enough for one person to keep track of!
