It's that time again. Time to start thinking about next year's challenges. I've already posted the sign-up pages for those that I will be sponsoring in 2016. And I've given some thought to my challenge-aholic ways. I've decided to put myself on a "challenge diet." After all, I think forty-two challenges (my current total for 2015) is a bit much. We'll see if I stick to a resolution to tone it down any better than all those New Year's Resolutions made in January. My intentions are to do mystery-related and challenges based on books read and fewer challenges that would require me to read books I don't already have on the TBR piles.
Here is where I'll keep track of the challenges I do sign up for. I will enter the completion dates in the brackets as they come along.

Bev, you're the Challenge Queen so I'd love to get your feedback about some challenge ideas I have for next year, when and if you have time. I will be ever so grateful!

Ooooh! Thanks, Jamie!
Hi, are you going to be doing any of your challenges next year? I always love doing the Color-Coded one. I have four planned for next year and have submitted them to a Novel Challenge, but they haven't been posted yet. I was ahead of the game by posting them on my blog last month.
Jamie:
I've re-upped the Vintage Scavenger Hunt & Mount TBR and I've added the Follow the Clues Challenge. I've posted a poll about the Color Coded & Read It Again, Sam challenges and it looks like those will be a go as well. Plan to post the new sign-ups for those soon.
