Reading Challenge Addict: My Sign-UP

YES !!! I AM A CHALLENGE ADDICT AND PROUD OF IT!!!
 
You know what they say about the best laid plans....Despite my resolution to read only books from my personally owned TBR stacks (don't worry, I have plenty of books) and the resolution to only sign up for challenges which I can meet reading my own books, I know I will keep adding challenges to my list like they're going out of style. So, of course I'm going to have to sign up for the Reading Challenge Addict Challenge.  This challenge support group/group of enablers was the brainchild of two lovely ladies: Cheryl of CMash Reads and Gina at Hott Books.  They are also the Hostesses with the Mostest over at Partner in Crime Tours and Providence Book Promotions.  They got very busy with their book tour sites and asked me to step in and shepherd our little group of Challenge Addicts.  I took up the reins....and here we go for another year of challenge madness.  For details on the challenge rules and levels, hop on the site above. 

And my Challenge Level?  As mentioned, I have a real problem with challenge self-control...So, sign me up for the top level, baby.


Out of This World: 16+ Challenges (Entered & Completed)

As I did last year, I will only track my challenges in one spot.  See my 2018 Challenges tab along the top or click HERE to see which challenges have reeled me in this year....

You know what they say about the best laid plans....Despite my resolution to read only books from my personally owned TBR stacks (don't worry, I have plenty of books) and the resolution to only sign up for challenges which I can meet reading my own books, I'm still adding challenges to my list like they're going out of style. I may not reach 30-some challenges again-- (Yes, I'm currently rushing around madly trying to cram as many books in between work and end-of-year holiday preparation as I can...)--BUT I have already grabbed up 14 challenges for 2017 and this year isn't even over. So, of course I'm going to have to sign up for the Reading Challenge Addict Challenge.  This challenge support group/group of enablers was the brainchild of two lovely ladies: Cheryl of CMash Reads and Gina at Hott Books.  They are also the Hostesses with the Mostest over at Partner in Crime Tours and Providence Book Promotions.  They got very busy with their book tour sites and asked me to step in and shepherd our little group of Challenge Addicts.  I took up the reins....and here we go for another year of challenge madness.  For details on the challenge rules and levels, hop on the site above.

Reading Challenge Addict: The Final Tally

So....like last year (when I signed up for 47 challenges), I went just a teensy bit overboard in the challenge department in 2015. I knew that I would and I signed up for the top level:

Out of This World: 16+ Challenges (Entered & Completed)


I met that goal, quite a long time ago. But how many did I actually sign up for this year? Forty-four. But this year, my eyes were bigger than my challenge capacity--I didn't quite finish them all. And it was the perpetual challenges that were my down fall. I failed to complete two challenges. I was supposed to read 50 more books that would qualify for the other half of my Century of Books Challenge. This is a "set the limits yourself" kind of challenge and I was determined to read all the books within in two years. That didn't happen. I still need to read 13 more books (nearly all pre-1930) to fill in the rest of the century. So, I'll be adding that one to my list for 2016. Hopefully, I'll be able to finish off those last 13 books next year.

The other problem challenge was the Read One Million Pages Challenge. I've set a personal goal of 40,000 pages a year on that one. I'm a little over 2,000 pages short on that one. I just didn't read as many chunky books this year--and I read about thirty fewer books overall. I hope the reading numbers aren't taking a permanent downward trend.

Overall, it's been a fun challenge year. I signed up for some challenges that I'd never done before and most of them pushed me to read books out of my comfort zone. But--next year, I'm hunkering down with my personal TBR stacks and have made a New Year's Resolution that I will only sign up for challenges which I can fulfill using my own books. With about 1600 of my own books that need reading, I really need to focus. Fellow addicts need not fear, however. My own stacks give plenty of scope for challenges--I've already signed up for 19 in the New Year and I'm sure there are more to come.


If you'd like to take a peek at the my 2015 challenges, then check out the tab along the top or click HERE. Eventually, I'll move the 2015 list to the "Previous Challenges" tab.

Challenge Complete: Reading Challenge Addict 2014

So....I actually completed this one a long time ago (like, maybe, June), but I just kept on finishing those challenges and forgot to log this one as done. Given my challenge-aholic status I signed up for that top level:

Reading Challenge Addict 2015

YES !!! I AM A CHALLENGE ADDICT AND PROUD OF IT!!!
 
I just realized that November wasn't even over and I have already signed up for 25 reading challenges. That's right. Twenty. Five.  So, of course I'm going to have to sign up for the Reading Challenge Addict Challenge.  This challenge support group/group of enablers was the brainchild of two lovely ladies: Cheryl of CMash Reads and Gina at Hott Books.  They are also the Hostesses with the Mostest over at Partner in Crime Tours and Providence Book Promotions.  They got very busy with their book tour sites and asked me to step in and shepherd our little group of Challenge Addicts.  I took up the reins....and here we go for another year of challenge madness.  For details on the challenge rules and levels, hop on the site above.

Challenges Completed: Christmas Spirit, Goodreads and Challenge Addict

For the Christmas Spirit Challenge, I signed up, as always, for the Mistletoe level (read two to four books.  I have managed that--see below.  I may read a few more Christmas-oriented books in the New Year...I have until January 6...but my commitment is made.

1. The Birds' Christmas Carol by Kate Douglas Wiggin (12/1/13)
2. The Finishing Stroke by Ellery Queen
3. A Christmas Promise by Anne Perry (12/20/13)
4. Maigret's Christmas by Georges Simenon (12/12/13)

I have also, with the completion of the Outdo Yourself Challenge, managed to meet my Goodreads challenge (181 books) and have completed all 34 challenges for my Reading Challenge Addict challenge.  A very challenging year, indeed! 

Reading Challenge Addict 2014

YES !!! I AM A CHALLENGE ADDICT AND PROUD OF IT!!!

Last year, I told myself I would try to control my reading challenge urges.  BUT, as I soon discovered, once an addict, always an addict  and I find myself trying to complete 33 challenges by the end of December.  I have already begun gathering up challenges for 2014.  So, of course I'm going to have to sign up for the Reading Challenge Addict Challenge.  This challenge support group/group of enablers was the brainchild of two lovely ladies: Cheryl of CMash Reads and Gina at Hott Books.  They are also the Hostesses with the Mostest over at Partner in Crime Tours and Providence Book Promotions.  Last year they have asked me to step in and shepherd our little group of Challenge Addicts.  I took up the reins....and life happened.  I didn't check in as often as I meant to--but the Addict site is still up and running and we're going to give this another go.  For details on the challenge rules and levles, hop on the site above. 

And my Challenge Level?  I 've given up pretending that I'll control myself....Sign me up for the top level, baby.

Reading Challenge Addict Challenge 2013

YES !!! I AM A CHALLENGE ADDICT AND PROUD OF IT!!!

I have just begun gathering up challenges for 2013.  AND I've told myself (and announced it in a couple places) that I'm going to try and rein in my reckless abandon in signing up for every challenge that I see.  BUT anyone who knows me also knows that I'll most likely be collecting them like they're going out of style before too very long.  Once an addict, always an addict So, of course I'm going to have to sign up for the Reading Challenge Addict Challenge.  This challenge support group/group of enablers was the brainchild of two lovely ladies: Cheryl of CMash Reads and Gina at Hott Books.  They are also the Hostesses with the Mostest over at Partner in Crime Tours and Providence Book Promotions and have found themselves just a teensy bit over-committed. So they have asked me to step in and shepherd our little group of Challenge Addicts.  I am proud to do so (and will do my best to make them glad they chose me).  Please come join me for this year's round of Challenge Madness.  Details about the challenge and levels of addiction may be found at the site (click link above).  

And my Challenge Level?  Oh...what's the use in pretending that I'll control myself?

Challenge Addict Checkpoint

YES !!! I AM A CHALLENGE ADDICT AND PROUD OF IT!!!

Now that we are half-way through the year, I thought I would take a moment and see where I'm at with all these challenges that my addiction has led me to sign up for. Here's the scoop on where things stand at the beginning of July:

Signed up for a total of 28 Challenges....so far. (Including the Challenge Addict Challenge) Yes, I said "so far"--I'm sure that there will be future challenges come along that will sing their siren song and lure me in.

I have completed 11 of them and have finished my initial commitment to a 12th. But I decided I hadn't had enough of Victorian Literature and upgraded to the next level. So I'm not officially done with that one yet.

The standings on the remaining challenges:

Gothic Challenge 70% complete
Take a Chance 3 70% complete
TBR 2011 58% complete
Outdo Yourself & Goodreads (same goal) 50% complete
Victorian Literature 70% complete (on upgraded level)
Georgette Heyer 67% complete
Off the Shelf 44% complete
P. G. Wodehouse 25% complete
Chunkster 50% complete
Baker Street 40% complete
A-Z Reading Challenge 77% complete
As My Whimsey Takes Me 20% complete
Books Won 25% complete
Classic Bribe 13% complete
Follow That Blurb 10% complete

Looks like I've still got plenty of reading to do for the rest of the year....

To Brag or Not to Brag....

That is the question. Oh, what the heck. Why not? I've already admitted that I'm a Challenge Addict. Big-time Challenge-aholic. Got 20 challenges going all at once and have already managed to knock out two of them. That being the case, Gina (Hott Books), one of the sponsors of the Reading Challenge Addict Challenge has declared that I am one of two Reading Challenge Addict Over Achievers. Senora G at Reading, Reading and Life joins me in this honor. What we got to say to the rest of the Challenge Addicts out there: "We don't, We don't...We don't mess around!"

There...that's my bit of extrovert behavior for the day. I'm going to go back in my corner and start reading again. So I can knock out another reading challenge. Oh, yeah!

Reading Challenge Addict Challenge

YES !!! I AM A CHALLENGE ADDICT AND PROUD OF IT!!!

CMash Loves to Read has hooked up with

Gina from Hott Books to offer those of us with Challenge Addiction a place to proudly declare our problem and to even be rewarded for it.
They are challenging each of us who can also say that we are a Reading Challenge Addict. They'll be giving away quarterly prizes and recognizing those who are meeting their own expectations by completing the challenges they've entered.

SITE: http://readingchallengeaddict.blogspot.com/

How addicted are you? How many Challenges have you signed up for?

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)

So far I am participating in fourteen challenges...that puts me initially at the In Flight level. Knowing me, I'll probably wind up in Out of This World before too long. I will list the challenges below and give the link for my tracking post for each challenge (that will be easier for me than listing all the books here). Click on the challenge title to go to tracking site. When I have completed a challenge I will mark it as complete with the date (and possible change it's color, I like to do easy artsy-craftsy stuff like that).

***Note to Followers: It has been determined by an outside source that this does not count as a new reading challenge since I will be adding no new books to my challenge lists. Therefore, there will be no slapping.

***Addendum: I've updated and added a few more "real" challenges. I'm braced for the onslaught of slapping.....Just goes to show how really addicted I am.

***Second Addendum: Just upgraded to Out of This World. Can't resist those challenges....
