    I set myself a reading challenge on my blog to read 100 books this year...
    I set my own because i have noticed a lot of challenges set by others they like to tell you what to read. I didnt like that... sometimes the best books ive read are those i have stumbled upon.

    I'm not participating in any contests currently but I'm challenging myself to read a wider range of books that are from genres that I would not normally read.

    Hi, Andye! =) These are the challenges I've signed up for:

    Victorian Literature Challenge @ Subtle Melodrama

    YA Novels of the 80s and 90s @ The Book Vixen

    Foodie Challenge @ Joyfully Retired

    Retold Fairy Tales and Enchanted Cousins @ Among the Muses

    I hope you don't mind if I link to my own posts about these challenges rather than to the hosts' blogs: Reading Challenge Post A -- Reading Challenge Post B.

    Like the other commenters, I was also inspired to create one my own, which is just a private reading project at the moment. I was upset when an A-Z authors challenge for Mysteries had a rule against YA and MG novels, so I decided to do the challenge on my own, sticking only to YA and MG Mystery authors. I've already read two books for it, but haven't put up a post yet.

    Not taking part in any but my own, it's where I actually try to finish all the books my degree has set for me to read.
    Ah, the beauty of a student life :)

    I'm just doing the plain ole Goodreads one and the 2011 DAC.

    I don't think I could handle more than those, as I'm new to blogging and just got into reading again. I already have quite a big pile to read, so I feel bad for people with alot more than I :P.

    I haven't signed up for any blog challenge but I'm challenging myself to read some books I wouldn't usually read such as: chick-lit ones (I intend to start with Sophie Kinsella's "Can You Keep a Secret"); YA contemporary ones (I'm planning to read "Anna and the French Kiss"); and some classic ones (Jane Austen's "Pride and Prejudice" is on the way! I know, shame on me I haven't read yet!).

    I'm participating in two challenges so far. The Goodreads one where I challenged myself to read 100 books this year (which I might end up raising the number) and the A-Z Challenge from Steph (The Thoughts Of A Book Junky) where you have to read a book for every letter in the alphabet.

    Thanks for another fantastic giveaway! :)

    I'm also participating in Zimlicious's 50 Books in a Year Challenge.

    I'm planning to do more challenges once I'm relieved of some homework enough to go to the nearby library!

    I haven't signed up for any challenges because they usually require you to write reviews, and I'm terrible at writing reviews.

    The only challenge I've signed up for is on Goodreads. I've set a goal to read 100 books this year. I'm a little behind, but that's ok. I set the goal in February, so I think I'm doing ok so far.

    I'm not participating in any challenges. The only challenge I'm taking part is reading my stack of TBR books and listing them on Bookmooch once I'm done. It's a challenge that never ends:)

    I'm participating in the Amazon.com: Best of 2010 Reading Challenge hosted by Reading with Martinis where you read 10 books from both the Editor Picks list and the Customer Favorites list by Nov. 30, 2011.

    Also on Goodreads, I am doing the 50 Books in 2011 challenge. I only have 11 so far, so I need to ramp it up!

    I'm participating in something called "Desáfio Mágico" (Magic Challenge, roughly), hosted by a blog here in Brazil, Nem Um Pouco Épico(nemumpoucoepico.blogspot.com. I have to read through all Harry Potter books once again, in the now 5 months left for the release of Deathly Hallows Part 2! It's actually just the same as the Harry Potter Challenge in To Read or Not To Read, only hosted by a blog in Portuguese!
    It's really cool and I also wanted to just re-read them to see what I would think now that I've sort of grown up... Well, here's my shot!
