My 2012 Reading Challenges

You've probably seen so many of these posts flying around, because I know that I have, but I decided to wait.  Basically until the absolute LAST minute. There is a reason for my procrastination.  You see, there were so many 2012 challenges that I've heard about that I couldn't decide which ones to participate in! I mean, doing them all certainly wasn't possible, and I don't like to fail.  So I wasn't going to set myself up for major failure here.  Anyway, this is why you are seeing my 2012 Reading Challenges post on January 2nd of 2012.  I can't change my mind now, these are the ones I've finally settled on. 

Here is my Official 2012 Reading Challenges List:

First of all, I want to start out by saying that once again on Goodreads, my challenge is to read 200 books this year.  I barely made it in 2011, so I'm hoping for a little more breathing room this year! I basically took mid-November to mid-December off of reading in 2011 (which was a horrible idea), so I had to catch-up during the last two weeks!

2012 Ebook Challenge hosted by Workaday Reads

This was a tough decision to make, but I've decided on...Level 3: DVD, 25 e-books.  This will probably be a little difficult for me since I'm so much more likely to pick up paper than my Kindle, but I'd like to read my Kindle more so I'm hoping this will be me motivation!
