2012 Challenges

CMash November 5, 2011 7 Comments

The other day I had my kick off for the 2012 Challenges. I admitted that, yes, I am addicted to books and challenges. And while stalking the above site, I also realized I am addicted to the challenge buttons. I’m in trouble!!!!! The next 2 months are going to be hard. Especially since I put in such a bad year with reading and challenges. Yesterday, since I can’t physically do fall cleaning, I did fall blog cleaning, and removed the 2011 challenges that I didn’t even make a dent in on my Challenge Page and started my 2012 Challenge Page.

I don’t know if it’s hopeful thinking, just the excitement of seeing all the new challenges and different buttons, wanting to close this book of 2011 and starting a fresh and fun book for 2012, BUT, I’m ready. So from today on, every Saturday, I will be posting what challenges, I have added during the week.

And I am hoping that you tell me which ones you decided to participate in for 2 reasons. One so we can encourage each other and two, in case I missed out on any lol.

So besides my kick off, I am also adding:

Challenge–2012 “Bucket List” Book Reading Challenge

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

NOTE: I am adding a stipulation to this challenge. If you originally decided to start small with the Mini Cooper level and decide to upgrade that is fine. But once you decide to go big you can NOT downgrade.

5. Each month a review link will be posted. Please feel free to link up your reviews where ever you happen to post them…your blog, goodreads,Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc.
Sample “Bucket” Lists:

I am already up to 7 challenges!!! And there are approximately 5 or 6 that I participated in last year and have my fingers crossed that those bloggers will host those challenges again. So I sit waiting ~~patiently~~, ~~checking daily~~, oh….ok…a few times a day..to see if those challenges are posted yet. I told you I am excited to start 2012 for many reasons. And one of them is to restore my reading habits.

So now I ask you…have you started signing up? How many? Are there some you are waiting for? Are you getting excited for the new challenges to start? Would love to hear or am I the only challenge and badge addict?

2012 Challenges

Gearing Up

CMash November 2, 2011 Leave a Comment

It’s starting !!!! Can you feel it in the air? Are you like me? Are you getting excited? Have you been stalking a particular site yet? I’m not going to lie, I have. And since 2011 was a non productive year in reading, it also means that my 2nd addiction, reading challenges, I didn’t do well in neither. So I am gearing up, taking a positive attitude that 2012 is going to be better, that more books will be read and more challenges completed.
So this is my kick off post of the challenges that I have signed up for and will be participating in. And I am sure there will be many more to come.

First, I want to thank the team over at A Novel Challenge for giving us addicts a site to go to and find all challenges, memes, events, read-a-thons, etc., a big THANK YOU!!!

2012 Reading Challenge Addict

I am going to start off with one challenge that I have already proclaimed, Yes!!! I am a Challenge Addict. And this is a challenge I am a wee bit partial to since I am cohosting with my blogging buddy Gina from Hott Books. She is the designer and boss and has told me that my job description is to wave and be the welcome committee as we get more addicts coming to our meetings lol.

Rules/Criteria:

January 1 – December 31, 2012

Good day, Addicts!!
It’s that time of year where we finally admit to our addictions and try to do something about them. Some of us need to admit we have a bit of a problem. Some of us need to admit we have a huge problem. Some of us just really want to enjoy each other’s pain and humiliation while completing challenges. So we are challenging each of you who can also say that you also are a Reading Challenge Addict. We’ll be giving away prizes and recognizing those who are meeting their own expectations by completing the challenges they’ve entered.

How addicted are you?

Easy as Pie: 1-5 Challenges (Entered & Completed)
On the Roof: 6-10 Challenges (Entered & Completed)
In Flight: 11-15 Challenges (Entered & Completed)
Out of This World: 16+ Challenges (Entered & Completed)

Mount TBR Reading Challenge

Hosted by Bev @ My Reader’s Block

If you are a bookaholic like me, then you can’t let a bookstore (used or new, it doesn’t matter) go by without stopping in (“just to look”) and walking out with at least something–if not an armload. I wait all year for the Red Cross Book Sale in October so I can cart them out by the bagful. And, well, that means that I wind up with gigantic piles of TBR books stacked up around my backroom. I don’t have a TBR shelf. Oh, no. I have “Mount TBR”…possibly a whole mountain range.

With that in mind, and having read Susan Hill’s Howards End Is on the Landing (where she spent a year just reading from her own shelves, I’ve decided to create my own TBR reading challenge and plan to concentrate on reading primarily from my own books this year. And you’re invited to join me in knocking out some of those books that have been waiting in the wings for weeks….months…even years.

Challenge Levels

Pike’s Peak: Read 12 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Vancouver: Read 25 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Ararat: Read 40 books from your TBR piles/s
Mt. Kilimanjaro: Read 50 books from your TBR pile/s
El Toro: Read 75 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Everest: Read 100+ books from your TBR pile/s

And the rules:
*Once you choose your challenge level, you are locked in for at least that many books. If you find that you’re on a mountain-climbing roll and want to tackle a taller mountain, then you are certainly welcome to upgrade.

*Challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2012.

*You may sign up anytime from now until November 30th, 2012.

*Books must be owned by you prior to January 1, 2012. No ARCs, no library books. No rereads.

*Books may be used to count for other challenges as well.

*Feel free to submit your list in advance (as incentive to really get those books taken care of) or to tally them as you climb.

*A blog and reviews are not necessary to participate. If you have a blog, then please post a challenge sign up and link THAT post (not your home page) into the linky below. Non-bloggers, please leave a comment declaring your challenge level.

*A progress site for reviews will go up in January and I will post the link in my sidebar for easy access.

2011 Challenges

Help is on the way!!!

CMash January 11, 2011 4 Comments

Now that ball has dropped and everyone has watched 2011 be ushered in, still trying to get used to writing 11 instead of 10, and more importantly saying, OMG!!!! I signed up for how many challenges?” Well………

I found another mini challenge, ( I know, just what you needed) but this is a Read-A-Thon via Bev’s blog, My Reader’s Block, and thought I would share it with all of you. I have already signed up and hope to get a lot of reading done, at least until Bloggiesta starts, because Gina from Hott Books felt that I needed to do this challenge too.

Here is the info for the Read-A-Thon:

Michelle from The True Book Addict is hosting.

SIGN UP FOR A WINTER’S RESPITE READ-A-THON (Link for sign up)

The read-a-thon is one week away and I’m super excited…can’t wait for an excuse to sit around and read! I don’t care what needs to be done around the house (aside from my writing goals). I’m going to read, read, read! Here are the dates and times for the read-a-thon: Monday, January 17 at 12 am until Sunday, January 23 at 11:59 pm (adjust your time zone as appropriate…I’m on central time). As I’m pretty sure there are no other read-a-thons that week (I checked and double checked so as to not intrude on someone else’s event), we will be using #readathon hashtag on Twitter. I would really appreciate any help in spreading the word. Also, if there are any bloggers and/or authors out there who would like to host a mini-challenge/giveaway during the event, please email me at truebookaddictATgmailDOTcom. Also, please email me or leave a comment if you have any questions. You can sign up and participate at any time during the read-a-thon…this is a flexible event. I hope you will join me for a week of reading fun!

2011 Challenges

This Is It…..

CMash January 4, 2011 8 Comments

OK….so Self and I have been having a dialogue over the past few days. We agree that I am a lost cause when it comes to challenges. It was either Gina, my buddy from Hott Books, or Julie, my other buddy from Reading Without Restraint…sorry having a senior moment..has brought it to my attention why they think I like challenges, not only for the concept but also for the adorable buttons. And I know if I say they are right, I’ll never hear the end of it, but, they are right!!!!

2010 was the first time ever that I kept record of how many books I read in a year. I had signed up for the 2010 100+ Challenge knowing that I would never get close but wanted to see just how close I would get. I didn’t do too bad considering I had some rough months with surgeries and slumps and still accomplished to get 68 books read. And then today…the Musing Monday question was just about this topic. I have been debating if I should sign up again for a 2011 100+ to see if I get any closer. I have had some very encouraging comments all day from from very kind visitors and Self and I have talked about:

And we have decided, what’s one more, at this point!!! And please if you see me pulling up to the front door of A Novel Challenge, lock the deadbolts!!!!
