Another wonderful 2011 challenge coming your way!! The Wish I'd Read That Challenge 2011 is here for you to read those books on your TBR list that you, well, wish you'd read! It's now being hosted by Misha over at My Love Affair With Books. You can participate whether you have a blog or not!
Now personally, I know I won't be reducing my list to any less that 1100 (my GoodReads TBR shelf has 1349 books on it!). My goal for this challenge is the Addicted level (12 books) and if I finish it, then I will go for Obsessed (20 books).
But anyway, this isn't about me. So what are you waiting for? For full details and info, just go to My Love Affair With Books and sign up while you're there, too!
There is an awesome challenge available to bloggers and non-bloggers!
The 2011 E-Book Reading Challenge is being hosted by The Ladybug Reads from January 1, 2011 till December 31st, 2011. I will be trying to reach the Addicteded (12 e-books) goal this year, as I didn't do so hot this year. Maybe, if I reach that goal, I will shoot for Obsessed (20 e-books). Wish me luck!

The Mad Scientist over at Steamounkery & Book Reviews is hosting the Reading Bucket List Challenge 2011. She has a super-long list of categories that you can read books for to mark off of your bucket list. I'm thinking that you read one book for whichever topic you want to read, but she didn't specify.
To learn more info, click here. I'm going to just go down the list and read books I suppose. I'm telling you, there's no way you can't participate in this one; there are so many options! :D
Mad Scientist is also hosting the Morbid Romantica Challenge 2011. Every month, there will be a differrent topic that you are supposed to read books for. I am going to try to read 3 - 5 books for each category.

The wonderful blogger Marcie @ To Read or Not to Read is hosting the Harry Potter Reading Challenge this year! She has seen all the movies, but never read the books -- now she will!! Her schedule is to read one book per month, all the way through July. I thought this would be a great way to recap on one of my favorite series! I will probably starting in February, instead of January.
To learn more details and info, go to the HPRC page.
Britney and Farrah from I Eat Words and Shannon from Stalking the Bookshelves are co-hosting the YA Series Challenge in 2011. You don't have to read the entire series, but as long as they are a part of a series, they count! I know this one will really help me.
My goal is accomplish the 4th and highest level -- "Fully Committed 13-16 Books." I read a LOT of series books so I think this one should be fairly easy.
To sign up, click here or here. (They are both saying the same thing, but you can sign up on either blog.) Go and sign up today! :D

It's not based on reading a certain amount of books to get to a certain level, it's more...read at your leisure, so maybe it's something to still consider?
Would love to have you join if it’s something that at all interests you.
Keep up the great blogging!
Your follower,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! I love reading what you have to say, whether good or bad. (This is not an open invitation to be rude.)
This blog is an award-free zone. I simply don't have the time to pass them on. Thanks for thinking of me, though :).
