I signed up for 9 reading challenges this year! I love reading challenges. But don’t be too impressed because I’ve only signed up for like 2 or 3 books for some of them. Since I got the Reading Challenges add-on to the Ultimate Book Blogger Plug-in, it’s really easy to keep track of my progress. So bring on all the challenges! And if you have an awesome challenge you are hosting/participating in let me know because I could use one more to make it an even 10 :) I also have a reading challenge directory on Pinterest where there are a ton more awesome challenges that I didn’t sign up for if you want to check them out.

What reading challenges have you signed up for?
My name is Jessica. I love to read Young Adult and classic literature. I’ve been a book blogger for six years and I haven’t gotten tired of it yet. I’m a very curious reader. Writing about all the questions and thoughts I had while reading a book is the best hobby ever.
You are rocking the challenges for the coming year! I still need to pick mine!
Wow! You are taking on a lot of challenges! Good luck!
How did you get the cool progress bar under the buttons?
It’s a wordpress plugin add-on to the Ultimate Book Blogger plugin that does it for me automatically. It updates by itself when I write the reviews too :)
Good luck with all your challenges! I love them too, but I suck at them. I only accomplished one this year. But, I accomplished one! :D
I love these challenges. Can you add mine to your Pinterest board too? Diversity on the Shelf 2014. Thanks and good luck on your challenges. I love reading challenges too!
Oh yeah! I just pinned it! I was going through my reader and saw it before I noticed your comment. It sounds like a cool challenge!
