Spring Reading Thing 2011

I just realized today that I have not signed up for a SINGLE reading challenge all year!  Well, there's no time like the present, and I seriously need a fire lit under me.

I've decided to sign up for the Spring Reading Thing 2011 that's being hosted by Calapidder Days. I've got a stack of review books that I need to get working on, so that's what will be making up the majority of my list.

The 4 Month Reading Challenge (Part 2 for me)

You know, I think I'm a glutton for punishment when it comes to reading challenges. I saw today that the next 4 month reading challenge has been issued, so I plan to "challenge" myself yet again. :o) Here's a list of what I'm aiming to read between July and October:

I didn't do too bad, I guess, on my last attempt at this, scoring 165 points. Coulda done better, but some of the book choices on the list just didn't seem to make it into my hands. This round, though, seems right up my alley because there are several Christian fiction options....woohoo!

So, here we go again! :o)

The 4-Month Challenge

I saw this challenge back several months ago, and it looked pretty interesting. I lucked out tonight when I saw sign-up time for it has rolled around again. There's probably a couple of these that I don't have a chance at accomplishing, but I think I've got a pretty good shot for most of the choices. The dates for the challenge are 3/1/10 through 6/30/10, and I love that these books can be used for the other challenges I'm working on this year. :o)

3. Feel free to list a proposed lists of TBR (to-be-reads) but you can also list them as you go.

4. Duplicates from other reading challenges can also count.

5. Challenge begins January 3rd through December 31st. Books started before count. *wink*

2010 100+ Book Reading Challenge

Yep, I'm signing up for this challenge again! 2009 was my first year ever to challenge myself to read 100 books. I'm not quite there yet (I think I'm around 87 or 88 right now), but I'm so very close. I am going to change a few things, though, regarding the goals that I set.

First of all, I am not going to pre-select books to read for 2010. That got me nowhere fast for 2009. So, for 2010, I'm going to let the wind take me where it will regarding what I decide to read.

Next, between blog tours and other required reading, it was hard to pick up a book to read that had no strings attached and enjoy it for what it was. So for 2010, I plan to do a lot more pleasure reading and a lot less required reading. (I'm excited about that already! :o)

This post will be home base for this challenge, and all the books that I read will be recorded here. Wish me luck!

Countdown 2010 Challenge

Guess I just can't stay away from the challenges. :o) I just finished one last weekend, and I guess I'm a glutton for punishment since I decided to start up another one. The Countdown 2010 Challenge is being hosted by 1morechapter.

So, here's how it'll work....

1. The goal of this challenge is to read the number of books first published in a given year that corresponds to the last digit of each year in the 2000s — 10 books from 2010, 9 books from 2009, 8 books from 2008, etc. The total number of books required, therefore, is 55.

2. This challenge lasts from 9/9/09 through 10/10/10.

3. Crossovers with other challenges are allowed and your lists may change at any time.

I'm not going to list anything ahead of time, but just list as I go. Wish me luck! :o)

Support My Local Library Challenge--2009

Okay, this is the LAST challenge I'm going to do this year...LOL!

But seriously, I visit the library quite often (the public library as well as my church library), so there's plenty of books to choose from. However, since I've already signed up for 2 other reading challenges this year, I'm going to do the 12 book option. I'm thinking that I'll probably do a little more than that by the time the year's done, but we'll see. Oh, and this is another challenge hosted by J. Kaye's Book Blog....love her blog! :o)

So far, I can only put two books on the list that I've read from the library. But hey, we'll make it to 12, I know. :o)

1. Kiss by Ted Dekker and Erin Healy--1/5/09
2. A Bouquet of Love by Ginny Aiken/Ranee McCollum/Jeri Odell/Debra White Smith--1/10/09
3. Daring Bride by Jane Peart--1/22/09

Chunkster Challenge.....Here I Come

Well, to stay in the spirit of reading for the new year, I'm joining another book challenge. Thankfully, it'll be combined with my 100+ Book Challenge that I've already signed up for. This one honestly just made me laugh when I saw it.....The Chunkster Challenge. :o) It's being hosted by Dana over at Feeling Chunky. I've decided to participate in Option 4: Too Big to Ignore Anymore.

So, here's what I'm planning to commit to:

1. The Book of God by Walter Warengin, Jr. (633 pages)--10/06/09
2. A Passion Most Pure by Julie Lessman (480 pages)--5/13/09
3. A Passion Redeemed by Julie Lessman (480 pages)--5/20/09
4. A Passion Denied by Julie Lessman (480 pages)--5/27/09
5. Stolen Innocence by Elissa Wall (451 pages)--6/13/09
6. The Justice Game by Randy Singer (494 pages)--7/12/09

It seems that I usually have to take large books in small doses, so I think I can handle 3 books, maybe more. The contest runs from Feb. 1 - November 15, and I think I can make it happen. :o)

100+ Book Challenge for 2009

I'm going to try something brand new this year that I really think I will be able to accomplish. It's a reading challenge to try to read 100 books or more in the upcoming year hosted by J. Kaye's Book Blog. I knew I wanted to do one of these challenges for 2009, so I started counting on January 1, 2008 so I'd know whether or not I'd have a chance for 2009! Miraculously, I was able to read 80 books in 2008, so I think I can handle 100 books for 2009. Plus, it helps that I won't be taking any more college classes in the near future!

Ok, well, I didn't intend to make a TBR list 71 books long in the first sitting, but at least I have something to work with now starting Thursday! :o) I cannot wait to get started! I'm also planning to use this list to keep track of everything I read this year, even if I didn't post it on the original list. So, #72 til whenever is stuff that's been added or stuff that I've read that didn't start on the list in the first place.
