Most of the time you will find me with atleast one book and on top of that I have host of ebooks on my computer both at home and in office.. for reading for me is more than a hobby it is closest to obsession I have ever come to.. :) Currently am reading "Tender is the night" by Scott Fitzgerald..
Anyways, few days ago I saw a post on pratsie's blog that intrigued me a lot.. I was introduced to a bunch of book reading challenges! And am I hooked?
Fultoo!! So this year, I am going to gift myself loads of books as my budday gift :0 Erm its an open invite to gift me books ppl ;) You can never go wrong there ;)
So the first challenge I am going to dabble is A-Z challenge..
This challenge has four options..
Option A: Read authors A to Z. Commit to reading 26 books theoretically speaking.
Option B: Read titles A to Z. Commit to reading 26 books theoretically speaking.
Option C: Read both authors A to Z and titles A to Z (52 books; this is the challenge Joy created)
Option D: Read internationally A to Z (books representing 26 different countries)
And knowing my speed at reading.. well I am going for both option C and D :)
That would mean reading 78 books this year!! yay!!
Also, there is an interesting challenge called TBR Challenge.. you are to read atleast 12 books in 12 months :)
Well so am all set to read 100 books :D or may be more.. knowning me like only I can know.. it is gonna be more than 100 books this year ..

Decade challange sounds fun !! neway good to have u company me in 100+ challenge... m banking biiiiig time to borrow form you !!!
U knw books used to be an obsession with me too...at 1 time.
U wd always find me in some corner reading a book......my parents hated this habit of mine coz it used to distract me from my studies.
Nowadays I dont get much time to read but if I start a book then I hate to put it down til its over.
Good luck on ur A-Z challenge!!!!!
And HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ah try short stories Nancy! they are easier to put down :)
Pratsie you bet!
hm.. do u really need a challange to make you read books? my personal opinion is, if u need some kind of challenge to make you read books, then you may better be without reading.... i know it sounds harsh... but somehow, i feel very bad and strongly against about these reading challenges...
Ah anoop.. its not about needing challenge.. I read eve without them and yet.. organized reading is fun.. for you share it with others... it becomes more than just reading :)
do you know that 100 books means 1 book in 3 days? and that's not weekends, but every single day!!!
it's ok to read, but to put your entire life on hold for a year just because of some strange challenge? i think not :)
I read one a day :)
