2011′s reading challenges were a success, in that I completed the one I intended to complete and ignored the one I had intended to ignore.
(First to read 100 books and rate them on Goodreads, secondly to get my to-read shelf down to just books I own)
This year’s challenges will be multiple, and again, I will have one or two that I have no intention of completing.
Firstly, the Australian Women’s Writer’s Challenge:http://www.australianwomenwriters.com/p/australian-women-writers-book-challenge_25.html
Ten books, five crime, five from other genres (I’m thinking…one romance, one non-fiction, one YA, one sci-fi, one fantasy. Mostly with titles in mind but I can be flexible)
Secondly, to review every book I read.
Thirdly, to complete my masters. That’s not really a reading challenge though. Neither is writing. Nor maintaining this blog or my tumblr. But they’re all goals.
Lastly, this year was going to be the year of the epic. I have copies of the Brothers Karamazov, War and Peace, and The Tale of Genji to read – but just as this year was meant to be the year of Australian authors (I ran out when I finished Bliss by Peter Carey on the train to Napoli and then forgot about that challenge) I don’t know how long that will last. They might sit on my to read shelf for another year.
