Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge 2013

I know you think I am crazy to join more challenges. But this one is perfect too. All I have to do is aim to read at least one more book this year than I read last year, and I can use this one to motivate myself to track all the books I read. This year I plan for my reading to be more of a mix, more sci fi and fantasy for sure.

Reading Challenge Details:

• Runs January 1, 2013 – December 31, 2013 (books read prior to 1/1/2013 do not count towards the challenge). You can join at anytime. Sign up on The Book Vixen’s blog.
• The goal is to outdo yourself by reading more books in 2013 than you did in 2012. You can move up a level as often as you’d like but no moving down.
• Books can be any format (bound, ebook, audio).
• Novellas that are at least 100 pages in length, as well as full-length novels, will count for this reading challenge.
• Re-reads and crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed.
• You do not have to be a book blogger to participate; you can track your progress on Goodreads or LibraryThing.

 Levels:
     Getting my heart rate up – Read 1–5 more books
     Out of breath – Read 6–10 more books
     Breaking a sweat – Read 11–15 more books
     I’m on fire! – Read 16+ more books

I am going for the easiest level: Getting my heart rate up. I read 85 books this year, so that means I am aiming at 86-90 books.
