2013 Reading Challenges

These are the reading challenges I have signed up to do for 2013:

2013 Historical Fiction Reading Challenge
January 1, 2013- December 31, 2013

I love historical fiction (it's my all-time favorite genre to read), so I had to do this challenge again. I am choosing the highest level, but I don't think it is going to be much of a challenge for me.

Ancient History - 25+ books




 
2013 What Countries Have I Visited Reading Challenge
January 1, 2013- December 31, 2013
Hosted by: Christian Novels

I am doing a no deadline challenge to read one book from each of the countries in the United Nations, so this will fit perfectly with that one. I am choosing...

World Traveler - Visit 30+ countries




2013 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge
January 1, 2013- December 31, 2013
Hosted by: The Book Vixen

I did this challenge last year and it really help me to read more. In 2012 I read 182 books and I am hoping to read 200+ in 2013, so I going for the "I'm on fire!" level.

I’m on fire! – Read 16+ more books


2013 Ireland Reading Challenge

January 1, 2013- December 31, 2013
Hosted by: Books and Movies

I was able to read 8 books last year that worked for this challenge, so I am upping my goal for this year.


Ceilidh level: 10+ books


2013 Mount TBR Reading Challenge
January 1, 2013- December 31, 2013

I have a ton of books that I have been meaning to read, but I'm not sure how many I will be able to read this year. Since this challenge doesn't allow you to decrease the amount, but does allow you to increase it, I am choosing the first level and hope to increase later.

Level 1: Pike's Peak




2013 Ebook Challenge
January 1, 2013- December 31, 2013
Hosted by: Workaday Reads

I find that I'm reading a lot more book on my ereader, even though I still prefer a physical copy, so I am choosing the fourth level.

Level 4: Memory Stick (50 ebooks)






2013 New Authors Reading Challenge
January 1, 2013- December 31, 2013
Hosted by: Literary Escapism


I did this one last year and was surprised by how many new authors I'd read. I had chosen 15 authors and when I finished I had read 100 new-to-me authors! I don't think I will be able to read that many again, but I'm still going to up the level from last year. This year I will be choosing 50 new-to-me authors.

  2. I'm doing all of these challenged too except for the Ireland one and the outdo yourself one! I kinda wanted to do the outdo one but since I read over 230 books last year I don't think I can! Thanks for joining my challenge!
