Let Me Count the Ways Reading Challenge 2013
It's that time of year again! I don't think I'll be signing up for any other blog challenges for 2013 besides the following. I really liked this year not having the stress of wanting to finish them. But anyway, I found a really awesome one through Goodreads!
Avanti @ Avanti's Place is hosting an awesome challenge this upcoming year for people who want to count their pages! Signup is easy: just post about your participation on your blog, Goodreads/Shelfari, etc. and add your link to the linky on the signup post! She offers several levels for you to join, and lucky for all of us (this is not sarcasm), the rules are that you can only level up, not down. (YUS! This means I can't back out of my goal at all.)
For the Book Version, I will be aiming for the Mansion level (10,001+ pages) because I ususally reach that pretty easily. At the same time, I've been struggling to read with my school work, etc. getting in the way, so it will still be a challenge!
Avanti loves us oh so very much that she also has an Audio Version to the challenge! Now we all know I'm not one to listen to audiobooks very often, but I'm so behind on the ones that I DO have. They're just stacking up on my iPod....(shakes head). To try and catch up on them all, I am also going to participate in the Audio Version!
I will be aiming for the College Dorm level (4,501-9,000 minutes (76-150 hours)). Don't want to aim too high if I don't buy a lot of audios this year, but I know I have at least this much waiting for me already.
Don't be shy! Hurry and sign up for one or both of these challenges. Everyone loves a good page/minute count challenge! :D

Evermore by Alyson Noel
This book counts toward the following challenges:
__________________________________________________
Evermore (Immortals, #1)
By Alyson Noel
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin, 2009
320 pages, Kindle Edition
Date Finished: 1/1/2011
Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy, Coming of Age, Romance, Action
~First Line: " 'Guess who?' "
~Last Line: " 'Always have. Always will.' "
Review: The Immortals series debut was fantastic! After reading Radiance I knew I would love this one.
Ever, the heroine, was so closed off from the world. I mean, I understand that she was still grieving over her recently lost family, but still. She should have been trying to make new friends and get back to real life.
Not that she doesn't have friends. Her two best -- and only -- friends are Haven and Miles. Haven's obsessed with vampires, and Miles is gay and loves acting.
Add Ever's eventually-boyfriend Damen to the mix and you've got a strange group. Of course, Damen isn't anywhere near outcast-ism like the others are. He's gorgeous, the perfect guy, and all the girls want him.
There was so much action in the book. Now, just so we're on the same page, let me say that "action" in this book and my perspective means "boyfriends that end up being a mystery without a bestselling author, friends that don't unerstand everything about you, a guardian that's doing her best to raise her niece, and, overall, a girl who doesn't believe she can trust anyone, that she's the only one with her abilities." Now wouldn't you say that's action? Or maybe drama's the word. A little of both in this work.
Mix all that in a bucket, add in a female antagonist that wants to destroy Ever and a totally unexpected visit to Disneyland, and you've got the marvelous novel entitled Evermore.
Truly, this novel was ah-mazing. I am so excited to begin reading Blue Moon, but I should probably finish some of the books I'm reading first. :)
Quotes from the book:
"Before I can answer, Miles looks up from his Sidekick and shoots her the look -- the one with the direct translatioin of: Caution all ye who enter."
" 'Disneyland?' I climb out of my car and gaze at him in shock. Out of all the places I thought we'd end up, this never cracked the list."
"I try to clear my mind of all incriminating thought, knowing she'll only use it against me. But the thing is, trying to clear your mind is about as effective as telling someone to not think about elephants -- from that moment on that's all they'll think about."

Evermore (Immortals, #1)By Alyson Noel
Publisher: St. Martin's Griffin, 2009
320 pages, Kindle Edition
Date Finished: 1/1/2011
Genres: Young Adult, Fantasy, Coming of Age, Romance, Action
Since a horrible accident claimed the lives of her family, sixteen-year-old Ever can see auras, hear people’s thoughts, and know a person’s life story by touch. Going out of her way to shield herself from human contact to suppress her abilities has branded her as a freak at her new high school—but everything changes when she meets Damen Auguste…
Ever sees Damen and feels an instant recognition. He is gorgeous, exotic and wealthy, and he holds many secrets. Damen is able to make things appear and disappear, he always seems to know what she’s thinking—and he’s the only one who can silence the noise and the random energy in her head. She doesn’t know who he really is—or what he is. Damen equal parts light and darkness, and he belongs to an enchanted new world where no one ever dies.

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).

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.

I found this on my friend Kate's blog (Read After Your Bedtime Book Reviews), and I figured that I should participate. The goal of this challenge is to re-read the Vampire Academy series. All the way from Vampire Academy to Spirit Bound. Then, on December 14th, you can crowd the stores and buy the series finale, Last Sacrifice.I will be starting this challenge either in late October or on November 1st. I have decided to do more of a series post for the first four books, but I'm not sure that I will stick to this. Be on the lookout!
Happy Reading as always,

2010 Reading Challenges
I found a few of these challenges for 2k10, and even though the year's half over, I thought I'd post them anyway. I will be participating in all of them. To see my current status on all of these challenges, go to the 2010 Reading Challenges page!
This reading challenge is for those of you who are always reading book series! Why not take a break and read something that stands alone?? The Stand Alone Book Reading Challenge is being hosted by Wings over at the Story Wings blog. The Challenge started on Jan. 1st, and will abruptly end at 2359:59 on Dec. 31st. (Just a little extra detail there; basically, it says 11:59 pm.)
Here's other info about the Challenge:

(Just a little extra detail there; basically, it says 11:59 pm.)Here's other info about the Challenge:
- Levels -
SAB-erful -- 5 books
SAB-erful -- 5 books
SAB-erific -- 15 books
SAB-tastic --25 books
- Rules -
1.) Well, it's pretty simple: As long as it's stand alone (meaning not belonging to a book series whatsoever) it counts.
2.)Rereads are accepted!
3.) Books must be read in between Jan. 1st/2010 and Dec. 31st/2010
The 2010 A - Z Challenge is being hosted by Becky at the 2010 A to Z Challenge blog. You basically read books that start with letters of the alphabet. I'm not necessarily reading my books in order, and you don't have to have a predetermined list, either. Obviously, this is a year-round challenge so reading limits are 1/1/2010 to 12/31/2010.
Options for challenge:
~ A - Z Authors: Read alphabetically by author. Commit to 26 books.
~ A - Z Titles: Read alphabetically by book title. Commit to 26 books.
~ A - Z Authors & Titles: Commit to reading 52 books.
The eBook challenge was formally hosted by J Kaye's Book Blog, but she kindly passed it on to the hands of Royal Reviews. As with all of these challenges, anyone can join, blogger or non-blogger.
I will be aiming for the Obsessed Level, which is reading 20 eBooks. I recently got my mom's old Kindle, so I'm excited!
This is being hosted by the website of the same name, Read Your Name Challenge. All you have to do is spell out your name. It could be a childhood name, a nickname, your first/middle/last/maiden, etc. Anything. Like my name, Zakiya. I would read something that started with Z. Then A, K, and so forth. If you have repetitive letters, you'll need to read books that start w/that letter more than once, depending. I have two A's. That means I would be reading two books that started with A. Make sense? Hope so! :)
So what are you waiting for? Go sign up for some Challenges!! :D
