Stuff on Sunday: Challenges for 2013

I enjoy a good challenge and so far I have committed to four for 2013.

The first is, of course, the challenge I am hosting for the second year -

The Eclectic Reader Challenge 2013

The aim of The Eclectic Reader 2013 Challenge is to push you outside your comfort zone by reading up to 12 books during the year from 12 different categories.

Has anyone ever told you that you are a terrible influence? *sigh* Here I was, telling myself that I was going to be strong this year and limit my reading fever to just three challenges, then you come and post all those pretty colors, and lovely words… how am I too resist? I’m not that strong, so I, too, I’m joining the Monthly Key Word challenge and a delicious zombie challenge that has been eating at me!

P.S. I’ve relocated your button to my personal blog (http://pagan-culture.blogspot.com/) more traffic

I’m joining your challenge and hoping to be an eclectic reader this year, too! In addition to that, I’m doing 7 more challenges. Now, I’m a little tempted to do that Monthly Key Word Challenge, too!

The keyword challenge looks interesting in concept, but I can’t help but feel it’s very Northern Hemisphere/US-centric in its themes… Nevertheless, I’d be tempted to join in if the idea of tracking down extra books to fit the keywords didn’t fill me with panic.

  The terms do tend to be US seasonal, which of course is the opposite of ours, but there is a fair bit of flexibility and the keywords a are pretty broad so i don’t envision too many problems

I enjoyed your Eclectic Challenge last year, but have decided to restrict my challenges so that I’m not too stressed…lol

I’m doing a Mt. TBR Challenge to help clear my shelves; a cozies challenge; a Women’s Murder Club Challenge; and a Sequel Challenge. Just four. That’s enough.

Although your challenges look good!

Wonderful to have you on board for another year of the Aussie Author Challenge Shelleyrae. How long do you think it will take you to complete the Fair Dinkum level this year – 2 months maybe??

  I’m looking forward to it Jo! 2 months? maybe

I’ve already signed up for your eclectic challenge. Looking forward to this one so much. And the Key Word challenge looks interesting too. Good luck with them all.
