TWENTY-THREE: Obviously I now qualify for Reading Challenge Addict!

Hosted at Reading Challenge Addict

How addicted are you?

• Easy as Pie: 1-5 Challenges (Entered & Completed)
• On the Roof: 6-10 Challenges (Entered & Completed)
• In Flight: 11-15 Challenges (Entered & Completed)
• Out of This World: 16+ Challenges (Entered & Completed)

I didn't set out to do so many challenges but the list kept growing and there are more listed below that I'm still tempted by! Yikes!!
That puts me in the OUT OF THIS WORLD level.

 If I get time to figure out how this works I would like to participate in:
Seasonal Challenge - 11 Dec to 31 March

 
Other Challenges that Tempt Me:
1001 Books You Must Read - I may check to see if any of these fit my other challenges and thus read a couple.
Operation Deepen Faith - but I will probably stick with my read the Bible through the year and add some faith reads along the way.
Clocks, Cogs and Mechanisms Reading Challenge 2012 - I do like Steampunk!
Find the Cover, Coversuch 2012 - Match items on the covers to the letters in 2012 ie.: TWOTHOUSANDTWELVE  I'll check as I go along and see if I can do this.
Harlequin Silhouette - I'd like to do this if I find time to add more Harlequin books.
52 Books in 52 Weeks - I know I'll read that many books and I like the subcatagories.
Fairy Tales Retold - can sign up until "Junish."  I'll have to see if any of my reading goes this direction.
Time Travel Reading - I love this genre so I may sign up if I end up with books that fit.
I Want More - This entails reading a second stand alone book from an author you like.  It could happen for me. If I do this it will be for the lower challenge:   Waited too long: 2 - 4 books.

I'm almost up to date on Patterson 1st to Die Women's Murder Club Series and Sookie Series so I won't be joining the Challenges although I hope to read the latest releases. I have read/listened to the Outlander series but I could do the Lord John series.


ALL RIGHT ALREADY!! ENOUGH!! STOP!!

I scanned months of posts last week but as I go back through I see more and more of interest but I must STOP.
There are a lot more great challenges to be found... the best list I know of to check for challenges is at
A Novel Challenge.  If you host a challenge - send it in there to get it included in the long list!
HAPPY READING!!
