Reading challenges for 2012


I've considered joining other reading challenges for next year and then decided that I don't need the added stress! So it's just the one for me. The new British Books challenge that began this year with Becky from The Bookette and has now been handed over to Kirsty from The Overflowing Library. I hear she has great plans and ideas for the challenge in 2012, I'm really looking forward to it.

Here is my proposed list of books that I'd like to tackle in 2012. This list is obviously subject to change... and by 'change' I just mean that it will grow even larger as next year goes on!

A Witch in Winter by Ruth Warburton
Kiss, Date, Love, Hate by Luisa Plaja

  4. I really want to read Mist and Hollow Pike!

    I haven't decided what challenges to do next year but I might restrict myself to just one as well because I found it very time consuming keeping up with them all otherwise.

  6. SJH - I've actually already finished Mist! So that'll count towards this year's challenge instead! Ha. But I'm very much looking forward to Hollow Pike!

    I've tried multiple reading challenges, and usually just 1 or 2 stick and the rest are ignored, so I figure 2 is my limit.

    Zoe - Thank you! Good luck with your reading challenges as well :)

    Kirsty - Of course!
