2015 Reading Challenges

It seems like 2015 is the year of the challenges. I hardly ever sign up for challenges because I never complete them and then I just feel terrible, but this year I'm feeling extremely motivated. I've already finished 3 books and a novella. So here are the challenges I hope to participate in this year!

Mel's (Fairytale) Retelling Challenge:

For this one I want to do the Magic Mirror level, which consists of reading 5-9 retellings. I think this is very doable since I want to finish the Cinder series and I still have Scarlet, Cress, Winter and Fairest. On my pile is also Princess of Thorns, and of course A Court of Thorns and Roses.

 

Flights of Fantasy:

This one is hosted by Alexa and Rachel and the point is to read as many fantasy books. For this one I want to read 10 fantasy books. We'll see how this one goes. I always put off my fantasy books because they're usually so long, even though I always end up adoring them when I do pick them up. I'm hoping this challenge will motivate me to read them!

105 Challenge:

This is hosted by Nori. The goal is to read 105 books in 2015, but to make this one interesting there are challenges that you can set for yourself. My categories are going to be:

12 Debuts from any year
11 Sequels
10 Last books
9 Netgalley/Edelweiss
8 First books
7 Novellas/Graphic novels
6 Standalones
5 Adult/nonfiction/celebrity books (ex: Yes Please by Amy Poehler)
4 Audiobooks
3 Classics
2 Rereads
1 Book in French

I also want to take part in the Popsugar Reading Challenge for 2015. It's a list of 50 challenges to take part in. I'm already planning on reading 105 books this year so this one shouldn't be that difficult to complete and it looks really fun. I know a lot of other people are going to take part in this as well.

The final one I want to try, just for fun, is this bingo. I found this on twitter and it's hosted by Maddie from The Girly Geek. I'm just going to be checking this at the end of each month to see what squares I completed.


Let me know if you're taking part in any of these challenges or if there are any I'm missing that I should definitely take part in. Let's make this year a great reading year!

2013 Paranormal Reading Challenge

I have never really signed up for yearly challenges. The only challenge I signed up for these past two years is the Goodreads reading goal. I just don't do well with set schedules and lists of books I "have" to read but this one seems simple and really fun! I saw it on Dizneeee's World of Books and decided to join. It's being hosted by Megan Likes Books and Auntie Spinelli Reads. You can find the official post about it here. Basically you read at least one book each month having to do with the paranormal creature for that month. Here is the schedule:

January: Vampires
February: Werewolves/Shifters
March: Fey
April: Angels/Nephilim
May: Mermaids
June: Dragons
July: Zombies
August: Demons
September: Witches/Wizards
October: Ghosts
November: Aliens
December: Other (ie: sirens, unicorns, centaurs, timetravel etc.)

I can't wait to try this, hopefully I stick with it. You guys should join too!
