I told myself that I would limit my reading challenges this year. With a baby arriving next month, I really didn't want to over-commit because that would just make me stress myself out. So I was really good in January and only signed up for 4 reading challenges. (Compared to last year's 15, that's pretty good.)
But I just can't take it. It's not enough. Surely there are other reading challenges out there that I can fulfill without driving myself crazy. So I found two more. . .

The European Reading Challenge is hosted by Rose City Reader. This is one I've participated in every year since I started blogging. I'm signing up for the Five Star level, which means I need to read 5 books set in 5 different European countries. Looking at the books I've read so far in 2016, I've got a great start. Surely I can find time to squeeze in a couple more books to finish this one up!
The Nonfiction Reading Challenge is hosted by The Introverted Reader. This is another challenge that I've participated in frequently, and it's usually been really easy for me to blow it out of the water. Nonfiction is a typical part of my reading diet. Looking at what I've read so far in 2016, it's a part of my reading diet that has been lacking this year. And I find myself gazing longingly at the nonfiction books on my shelves. I'm signing up for the Explorer level, which means I need to read 6-10 nonfiction books this year. I'm hoping for more, but I'm still trying to set my sights realistically.
Okay, I promise I'm done. Six challenges. That's it. (I think.)
