It is fun to keep track of the books I've read.<br /><br />Funny thing about challenges - I've never had the desire to join one that was genre/theme specific - I mean, what if I don't like it? But when I was on twitter a while back lamenting that I don't have time to start new "well established" series, I came up with the idea for my own blogger-sponsered challenge so that I would MAKE time to read the Immortals After Dark series. I made it "easy" - read one story per month. I think I can handle it!

Yay, for you NOT signing up for any new challenges too! <br /><br />@Blodeuedd: Heh, you still have two weeks to complete most challenges, B! Better get your ass in gear. ;)<br />Too bad you don't have a solution for commenting in Google Reader either, it would make my life a bit easier! :D<br /><br />@Tam: LOL, I witnessed you completing your m/m challenge January 15th! Wasn't much of a challenge for you, huh? :D<br />I agree, HAVING to do something kinda takes the fun out of it!<br />Hope you have a great weekend too, Tam. :)Jannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08097232237827106033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401800529291605034.post-2750039428220994302010-12-10T21:21:21.350+01:002010-12-10T21:21:21.350+01:00Should I join Challenges that would really make me...<i>Should I join Challenges that would really make me work for it? Why would I do that, what’s the fun of that? </i><br /><br />I agree. I only did two. The m/m romance one (which if I went for the lowest level I finished about Jan. 15 and I know I'm going to read hundreds of stories so keeping track just becomes a PITA. I also did Kris' outside the comfort zone challenge but it was only two books so fine, I can handle that, but when reading becomes a chore then it's no fun for me. I don't like HAVING to do something. I'll pick which books I want to read and when. I don't like forcing that to fit someone else's criteriar Ifind. So, I'm going to pass this year too. :-)<br /><br />Have a great weekend.Tamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15495571402942021799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401800529291605034.post-40280588490098072612010-12-10T21:12:46.876+01:002010-12-10T21:12:46.876+01:00I should do challenges..but eh, kind of forgot abo...I should do challenges..but eh, kind of forgot about the ones I signed up for this year.<br /><br />And that reason is why I left google reader, but if you find a way to comment then do tell .=)Blodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401800529291605034.post-5599026714024055832010-12-10T20:59:03.705+01:002010-12-10T20:59:03.705+01:00Hi Janna, good to see you back again!
I took part...Hi Janna, good to see you back again!<br /><br />I took part in 4 different challenges this year. Thing is, I didn´t even finish the shortest one of them. Aww! <br />I picked some books for a challenge where you read 1 book out of 12 different genres - okay, there are 4 books left and I don´t like to read them (now) at all. Fail.<br />I picked 5 books for a challenge which leads you to five different countries. I have read 3 of them, and don´t like to read the other 2 that are left. Fail.<br />Then there are a Fantasy-Challenge and a Jane-Austen-Challenge which are both still running until June 2011. I really don´t know yet if I will ever finish them. *sigh*<br /><br />But this one is sure for me: I will NOT take part in any new challenge in 2011. The concept simply doesn´t work for me, because I want to enjoy reading and not forcing myself into reading books I don´t really want to read (at that moment of time or ever).<br /><br />hugs, evievihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01191622589019767393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401800529291605034.post-79202019573813219162010-12-10T20:51:57.589+01:002010-12-10T20:51:57.589+01:00I'm really bad with multi-tasking, so I'm ...I'm really bad with multi-tasking, so I'm afraid I start a reading challenge here or there and then I just dump it the minute I have a deadline on something, and I never get back to it.
