I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.

I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.

Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)

Let Me Count the Ways Reading Challenge



Let Me Count The Ways
Reading Challenge
2013


hosted by Sarah at Workaday Reads

Sign- up here



I know there are many of us out there with goals to read 1 million pages in our lifetime, and some people with lesser goals. I decided to create a challenge for those of us with a page count goal and for others to start one. I'm excited about this! The challenge goes from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013 There are levels for you to choose from. You can always move up a level but you can't go down.

The levels are:
  • Living with the parents: 0 - 2000 pages 
  • College Dorm: 2,001 - 4,000 pages 
  • Off Campus Apartment: 4,001 - 6,000 pages 
  • My First Place: 6,001 - 8,000 pages 
  • Condominium: 8,001 - 10,000 pages 
  • Mansion: 10,001 + pages

If you've seen the number of books I've read then you can guess which level I'm going for . . .
Mansion
 . . . and plan on reading more than 10,001 pages during 2013.

:-) added ~ private island: 20,000+ pages
