2013 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge

Hi, everyone! Time for a 2013 Reading Challenge!!


This challenge is being hosted by Brianna at The Book Vixen!

Here are the details copied from Brianna's blog:
2013 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge


Reading Challenge Details:

- Runs January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2013 (books read prior to 1/1/2013 do not count towards the challenge). You can join at anytime. Sign up on The Book Vixen’s blog.

- The goal is to outdo yourself by reading more books in 2013 than you did in 2012. See the different levels below and pick the one that works best for you. You can move up a level as often as you’d like but no moving down.

- Books can be any format (bound, ebook, audio).

- Novellas that are at least 100 pages in length, as well as full-length novels, will count for this reading challenge.

- Re-reads and crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed.

- Grab the reading challenge button and post this reading challenge on your blog to track your progress. Please include a link back to this sign-up post so others can join the reading challenge too. You do not have to be a book blogger to participate; you can track your progress on Goodreads or LibraryThing.

- Getting my heart rate up – Read 1–5 more books

- Out of breath – Read 6–10 more books
