2013 Reading Challenges

At the beginning of last year I was a sort of new blogger and I didn't participate in any reading challenges. Now that I think I have things more under control, I am participating in 2 challenges. I may even join another one that I am interested in.

I don't think I have set up any unrealistic goals for myself. I am basing my goals on my reading habits from last year, so I think I can be successful.

2013 YA Contemporary Challenge hosted by Katie's Book Blog.

I prefer reading contemporaries, so this challenge is a no-brainer for me this year. I'll go out on a limb here and pick 40 books as my goal. Here are a few books that I am looking forward to reading. (Some of these will also qualify for my Debut Author Challenge!)

2013 Debut Author Challenge hosted by Hobbitsies.

I'm not sure how many books on my 2013 tbr are from debut authors. I am going to pick 10 books as my goal. I think that is a reasonable number.

2013 Standalone Reading Challenge hosted by I Like These Books.

2013 Goodreads Reading Challenge.

Last year my goal was 75 books, and somehow I managed to read 86 books. So I am choosing 75 as my goal again this year. I think it's an attainable number. I have so many books that I am wanting to read. I really wish I had more free time!
