2011 Book Challenges

Off The Shelf Challenge

Are your books multiplying like rabbits before you even get a chance to read them? Trying to keep up with them, but can't stop buying new ones?

Maybe this challenge is for you. I know what it's like. There's so many titles and so many beautiful books out there sometimes it's hard to keep that TBR shelf under control, but if you really want to try why not challenge yourself?

The challenge begins on the 1st of January and ends on the 31st of December 2011

Note: This challenge is to read those books you own copies of, but have never got around to reading. If you don't have many that you own, but have a massive TBR shelf you're welcome to read those ones as long as you don't add new ones. You don't need to actually get rid of your books after you've read them, this is just to read them.

Challenge Levels

1. Tempted–  Choose 5 books to read
2. Trying – Choose 15 books to read
3. Making A Dint – Choose 30 books to read
4. On A Roll – Choose 50 books to read
5. Flying Off – Choose 75 books to read

For extra hard challenges

1. Hoarder – Choose 76-125 books to read
2. Buried – Choose 126-200 books to read

You can sign up here to join!

After doing some quick calculations, I found out that I have over 150 TBR books, so I think this challenge will definitely help lessen the piles of books. :D I'm doing the Hoarder challenge since I have so many books that I need to read, and also because Krista always calls me a hoarder every time she sees my piles of TBR books. I know that I probably won't get around to reading that many books while at the same time reading many of the new books that come out in 2011 which aren't allowed in this challenge, but that's why it's called a challenge, right? :P

2. Audio, Re-reads, eBooks, YA, Manga, Graphic Novels, Library books, Novellas, Young Reader, Nonfiction – as long as the book has an ISBN or equivalent or can be purchased as such, the book counts.

What doesn't count: Individual short stories or individual books in the Bible.

3. No need to list your books in advance. You may select books as you go. Even if you list them now, you can change the list if needed.

4. Crossovers from other reading challenges count.

5. Challenge begins January 1st thru December, 2011. Books started before the 1st do not count. You can join at anytime.

If you’d prefer to put your list in the sidebar of your blog, please leave your viewers the link to the sign up page. Again, so viewers can join the challenge too.

You can sign up here!

I did this challenge last year thinking that I'd barely read over 100 books. To my astonishment, I read over 150 books by the end of the year, which is why I'm challenging myself to read at least 175 books this year.

Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge

Details:

• Runs January 1, 2011 through December 31, 2011 (books read prior to 1/1/11 do not count towards the challenge). You can join at anytime. You can sign up on The Book Vixen’s blog.
• The goal is to outdo yourself by reading more books in 2011 than you did in 2010. See the different levels below and pick the one that works best for you. Nothing is set in stone; you can change levels at any time during the challenge.
• Books can be any format (bound, eBook, audio).
• Re-reads and crossovers from other reading challenges are fine.
• You can list your books in advance or list them as you read them. It is not required that you review the books you read for this challenge but feel free to do so.
• Post this reading challenge on your blog so you can keep a list of the books you’ve read for this challenge. Please include a link back to this post so readers can join the challenge too.
• You do not have to be a book blogger to participate. You can keep tabs on books you’ve read for this challenge on Goodreads or LibraryThing if you’d like (maybe make a shelf for “Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge”). If you are not on either of those sites then you can list the books you read for this challenge in the comments on my wrap-up post, which will be up at the end of 2011.

Levels:

     Getting my heart rate up – Read 1–5 more books      

     Out of breath – Read 6–10 more books      

     Breaking a sweat – Read 11–15 more books
     I’m on fire! – Read 16+ more books

You can join over here!

This challenge definitely coincides with the challenge above it. Since I read 163 books last year and aim to read at least 175 books this year, that means that I have to read at least 12 books to accomplish my goal, meaning that I'll have to do the Breaking a sweat challenge. :D
