New Reading Challenges for 2012

I like to participate in reading challenges and am definitely more successful at some than at others.  I also tend to be extremely loyal to a couple of challenges as I really enjoy them.  Here are a couple of challenges that I have been doing since they first started and I am signing up again this year.  For more information on any of these challenges, check out Book Chick City.

Challenge Details

• Timeline: 01 Jan 2012 - 31 Dec 2012
• Rules: There are TWO LEVELS you can choose from: Read 12 or 24 mystery & suspense novels in 2012.  I am opting for the 24 novels this year.
• You don't have to select your books ahead of time, you can just add them as you go. Also if you do list them upfront you can change them, nothing is set in stone! The books you choose can crossover into other challenges you have on the go.
• You can join at anytime. All books read in 2012 count towards the challenge regardless of when you sign up.
• Audiobooks do not count, but all other formats are accepted.
