2013 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge!


Sponsored by The Book Vixen! Thanks!

The Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge! Last year I wanted to read 115 books. It did NOT happen. I had to drop it down because of health problems here and there, and ended up with 68 books, I believe? This year I REALLY WANT TO DO 100 BOOKS! This is A HUGE goal for myself! WHY 100? Because reading is such a WONDERFUL escape from life, especially when you have a neurological muscle disease! Not to mention a Kindle AND a Kindle Fire! PLUS BOOKS, BOOKS, AND MORE BOOKS!

Here are the rules COPIED AND PASTED from The Book Vixen! If I do it, I do it!!! YEAH!! If I don't, I don't. See, it can work the opposite on me, too, like last year! I thought I could read MORE, but it turned out I could NOT! So, even though my GOAL IS, it could turn out NOT to be? We'll see!

Here are the rules:

What’s your reading goal for 2013? If it’s to read more books, then this is the reading challenge for you! There have been almost 400 readers who wanted to outdo themselves so far. Are you up for the challenge?


Reading Challenge Details:
  • Runs January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2013 (books read prior to 1/1/2013 do not count towards the challenge). You can join at anytime. Sign up on The Book Vixen’s blog.
  • The goal is to outdo yourself by reading more books in 2013 than you did in 2012. See the different levels below and pick the one that works best for you. You can move up a level as often as you’d like but no moving down.
  • Books can be any format (bound, ebook, audio).
  • Novellas that are at least 100 pages in length, as well as full-length novels, will count for this reading challenge.
  • Re-reads and crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed.
  • Grab the reading challenge button and post this reading challenge on your blog to track your progress. Please include a link back to this sign-up post so others can join the reading challenge too. You do not have to be a book blogger to participate; you can track your progress on Goodreads or LibraryThing.

Levels:

     Getting my heart rate up – Read 1–5 more books

     Out of breath – Read 6–10 more books

     Breaking a sweat – Read 11–15 more books

     I’m on fire! – Read 16+ more books

That is the one I'm going to HAVE to do! We'll see! Maybe I'll do more?
Thanks!
Laurie
