I Love Picture Books Reading Challenge 2014 hosted by Gina at Book Dragon's Lair

Guidelines:

• Challenge runs from January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2014

• Please post about the challenge and sign up with a direct link.
• A blog is not necessary, just link to where you talk about the challenge
• Reviews are not necessary but would be nice (so we know which ones to read ourselves!) A link for reviews will be posted in January.

Claudia

I find it interesting that when I was first getting really into The Baby-Sitters Club series, I felt that either Kristy or Abby were my favorite of the girls.  This was also during the period of my life where I thought I was like both of them because I thought I loved sports.  I realize now that I liked playing soccer and wall-ball at recess and enjoyed watching the Connie Mack World Series.  This did not make me an athletic person.  So my connection to Kristy and Abby wasn't really there.  As I've making my way through the books, it occurred to me that the books I remember re-reading the most were about Claudia.  Without realizing it, I think she had become my favorite of the characters.  I constantly re-read Claudia and the Genius of Elm Street, Claudia Kishi, Live from WSTO!, and Claudia and the World's Cutest Baby.  I loved reading about her various art projects (her junk food art show was amazing!) and her wacky outfits. I think that Claudia and the Clue in the Photograph even partially encouraged my love for photography.  I remember using my camera quite a bit after reading that book for the first time.  I think the closest I came as a kid to realizing that she was probably my favorite character was the year I dressed as Claudia for Halloween (I seriously think that is the only year I don't have a photo to document my costume), but that was because I didn't think people would get it if I dressed as Kristy.  It will certainly be interesting to see if I continue to stick with Claudia or if I begin to relate one of the other characters instead.

Happy Reading!

2013 Mount TBR Reading Challenge

2013 Mount TBR Reading Challenge 

Hosted by: My Reader's Block

Challenge Levels 

Pike's Peak: Read 12 books from your TBR pile/s
Mount Blanc: Read 24 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Vancouver: Read 36 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Ararat: Read 48 books from your TBR piles/s
Mt. Kilimanjaro: Read 60 books from your TBR pile/s
El Toro: Read 75 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Everest: Read 100 books from your TBR pile/s
Mount Olympus (Mars): Read 150+ books from your TBR pile/s



Beauty and the Armageddon's Goal: Mount Blanc!


And the rules:
*Once you choose your challenge level, you are locked in for at least that many books. If you find that you're on a mountain-climbing roll and want to tackle a taller mountain, then you are certainly welcome to upgrade.

*Challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2013.

*You may sign up anytime from now until November 30th, 2013.

*Books must be owned by you prior to January 1, 2013. No ARCs (none), no library books. No rereads. [To clarify--based on a question raised last year--the intention is to reduce the stack of books that you have bought for yourself or received as presents {birthday, Christmas, "just because," etc.}. Audiobooks and E-books may count if they are yours and they are one of your primary sources of backlogged books.]


*You may count any "currently reading" book that you begin prior to January 1--provided that you had 50% or more of the book left to finish in 2013.  I will trust you all on that.

*Books may be used to count for other challenges as well.

*Feel free to submit your list in advance (as incentive to really get those books taken care of) or to tally them as you climb.

*A blog and reviews are not necessary to participate. If you have a blog, then please post a challenge sign up and link THAT post (not your home page) into the linky below. Non-bloggers, please leave a comment declaring your challenge level--OR, if you are a member of Goodreads, I will once again put together a group for the challenge there. Feel free to sign up HERE.  And, finally, I am contemplating a review tracker for this year.  I will post a link if that works out.

"The Baby-Sitters Club" 2013 Reading Challenge

Alternate Title: I am Crazy

Alright, the details of my personal reading challenge for 2013 can be found here.  I will be starting on January 1, 2013.

I would love it other readers would like to join me in this insane journey.  I loved The Baby-Sitters Club as a kid, and never pass up an opportunity to talk about this awesome series.

I'm still going to set some sort of reading goal for the year (I haven't quite decided what that goal will be yet) and my plan is to set aside one day a week specifically for Ann M. Martin's books.  Here's hoping I can meet my goal!

Happy Reading!

The Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge!

As a HUGE fan of the Gilmore Girls, I was absolutely delighted to come across "The Rory Gilmore Reading Challenge."  I am absolutly amazed that someone took the time to go through all seven seasons and make this list.  Now, I have no desire to even try to read every book on this list, but I will try to come back and update what I have read. Have any of you given this list a try?  I'd love to hear about your expierences!

*Please note, I didn't create this list.  I found it online and am simply sharing it with other readers. 

Titles marked in purple are ones that I have read.  Those in black are the ones I have not read.  You can see why I am a little intimidated at the thought of trying to read them all...
