50 Books in 2013
[Progress: 0/50]
[Progress: 0/30]
The goal of this challenge is to read books that you already own.
Which is perfect for me, because I have a book buying addiction habit.
So, I have signed up at the Making A Dint level,
meaning 30 books in 12 months from my already owned pile.
Which, should also work along nicely with my Goodreads challenge!
TBR Pile Challenge 2013
[Progress: 0/12]
This challenge is much like the Off the Shelf challenge,
except it requires you to set your list of 12 books before 2013 even starts
(it also requires that the books be on your shelf for a full year,
meaning no books published before 1/1/12).
And it's okay to crossover between the two challenges!
Why am I doing this one then?
I kind of like the added challenge of setting myself a list ahead of time,
and holding myself to it by the end of the year!
So, here's my list:
1. Life of Pi - Yann Martel
2. Trace - Patricial Cornwell
3. Deja Dead - Kathy Reichs
4. The Fellowship of the Ring - J.R.R. Tolkien
5. To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee
6. Labyrinth - Kate Mosse
7. The Pillars of the Earth - Ken Follett
8. Lord of the Flies - William Golding
9. Satori in Paris - Jack Kerouac
10. Game of Thrones - George R. Martin
11. The Alchemyst - Michael Scott
12. Blood of the Fold - Terry Goodkind
Alt. 1. Thursday Next: First Among Sequels - Jasper Fforde
Alt. 2. Looking for Alaska - John Green
Back To The Classics Challenge 2013
[Progress: 0/6]
This one is pretty cool, and a plan that I've always had for myself.
The goal is easy: 6 classics in a year.
It can also overlap with other challenges, so that's cool.
The goals:
1. 19th Century Classic - Anna Karenina - Leo Tolstoy
2. 20th Century Classic - The Fellowship of the Ring - J.R.R. Tolkien
3. Pre-18th or 18th Century Classic - Robinson Crusoe - Daniel Defoe
4. A Classic that Relates to the African-American Experience - The Color Purple - Alice Walker
5. A Classic Adventure - The Wonderful Wizard of Oz - L. Frank Baum or The Odyssey - Homer
6. A Classic that Prominently Features an Animal - To Kill A Mockingbird - Harper Lee
