One of the things I've been looking forward to most about starting a book blog are the plethora of reading challenges out there. You can get me to do just about anything if you call it a challenge (especially if it involves reading, and absolutely not if it involves heights). I've been keeping a list of those that I would love to participate in, and it's time to unveil that list! So here goes. . .
Classics Catch-Up Challenge hosted by Quirky Bookworm
I'm starting six months late, but hopefully I can get the ones for July - December read.

Back to the Classics Challenge hosted by Sarah Reads Too Much
Can you tell I'm trying to be a good English minor and not give up on the classics just because I'm done with college? Not to mention, I love reading classics, and I own quite a lot that I haven't read yet.

Mount TBR Reading Challenge hosted by My Reader's Block
Because I buy books that I want to read, and then just let them accumulate dust on my bookshelves. Time to give those books some love.

Color Coded Challenge hosted by My Reader's Block
I'm debating about this one. It sounds like a hard one to jump into halfway through the year. I can only think of one book I've read with a color in the title. . . I may have to do some more investigating before I commit.

European Reading Challenge hosted by Rose City Reader
Travelling (especially in Europe) is one of my all-time favorite things to do. Reading about those places is the next best thing.

How Many Pages Will You Read? hosted by Abducted by Books
The minimum level for this challenge is 15,000 pages for the year. Yeah, I'm already past that. . . One challenge complete!

A to Z Challenge hosted by On the Wings of Books
I think I've been looking forward to this one the most. You can read by author's last name or by title. I'm thinking I'll try both (nothing like being ambitious from the get-go!). I've read 52 books so far this year. What are the odds they will line up alphabetically on both lists?

I may have bitten off more than I can chew. . .or piled up more than I can read. . .but that's all right. I love a good challenge! I'll be posting about each one of these challenges in the coming days as I figure out how far along I am in each of them. I'll also be creating a page to keep track of my continuing progress (at least, I hope there's continuing progress).
Any other suggestions? Are there any amazingly awesome reading challenges out there that I'm missing out on? Let me know, so I can give them a try, too!
