Tgif is a weekly meme hosted and created by Ginger at Greads. This feature lets us wrap up the week and also poses a weekly question pertaining to blogging, books and what have you. This weeks question:
Reading Challenges: Did you sign up for any this year? How has your progression been?
I am a challenge-junkie, so of course I signed up for a ton.......
(my bloggie friend Missie from The Unread Reader did a post like this a few months ago- Im going to borrow her format for my progress breakdown...)
Whisper Stories in my Ear
Bewitched Bookworms -Audiobook Challenge.
Status: 47/300 Hours Listened to
Doing pretty good...NOT. I have 3 months to listen to 203 hours worth of audio books. Call me crazy but I may not make it.
Vampire Challenge hosted by Parajunkee's View
Status: 12/20 Read
Well shiver me timbers, I think Im going to pull this one off. Vampires are never hard for me to get into....and with a mix of YA and even some CF vampires this year the selections are great.
Show Me The Free- The Unread Reader
Challenge to read free books on Kindle/Nook.
Status: 0/12 Read
Wow- Missie I suck!! I guess me and free aren't getting along right now.....EKE!!!!
Book Soulmates Zombie Challenge
Status: 3/10 Read
Not making as much progress as I thought I would...I have a few on the horizon before January hits, but more than likely I don't see myself finishing this one...and ps- that picture is scary...Im shivering a little..
Book Soulmates Host Steampunk Ahead
Status: 0/10
Epic Fail!
The Book Vixens- Nicholas Sparks Challenge
Status: 1/10
Well fiddle sticks....I guess my intentions of re-reading all my favorite spend a year with Master Sparks has fizzled out faster than a sparkler on the 4rth of July.....
Stainless Steel Droppings- R.I.P VI
Status: 0/2 Read- 2011-Fall Event
2 books people...its 2 books.....well at least I have until November to get this one done. My favorite challenge every year and I fail every time. You can see now why I keep chocolate out of my house........
The Goodreads 2011 Challenge
Status: 131/150 Books Read
Well blow me down- I think I will complete this one. I really wanted to get 200 books in this year, but Im happy with this challenge.

I am doing the 100 books in a year challenge i doing ok ish as I have read about 65 I think
ReplyDeleteWow, that's a lot of challenges, but it looks like you're doing pretty well. :) I didn't know about these, really, until later in the year, so I didn't join any, except for on GR, but I've got lots of ideas for next year! Seriously, an audiobook challenge? I'll rock that one for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy TGIF!!!
*sobs buckets*
ReplyDeleteBRB with tissue!
Dude! This is TOTALLY why I don't do challenges... Because I'm counter productive!!! Lol!!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you got against FREE books, huh?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding, T. I'm failing my own challenge too. And I was so pumped about it at the beginning of the year.
The only challenge I'm acually doing good in is the Vampire RC. I've read 18/20! Only two more to go!
Fang Bangers Rule! :)
I find I do best with the general "read this many books per year" challenges. Give me a genre or parameters and I fail big time.
ReplyDeleteLook at you, you little challenge-taker. That is an amazing list of challenges, lol. And I'll back-up the love of your format for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI'm doing RIP too, and I'm kinda sad I missed the zombie challenge I've never done a zombie book and there are so many good ones out there now!
P.S.
hahaha, on chocolate comment ;) I don't keep it in the house either...my eyes are always bigger than my stomach or my bookshelf space...
Wow, you really are a challenge junkie! I signed up for one lone challenge and that was a big epic fail for me. I was all about it for like a month and then my book reading ADD kicked in and I was all over the place:) Looking forward to a year end summary of all your challenges!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, FNL is one of my favorite shows. Fabulous writing, acting, and directing. For the longest time, I kept dismissing it for just a boring show about football. Boy, was I stupid! Loved every minute of it. Hate to see it ended.
ReplyDeleteSecond of all, there's CF vamps? I had no idea! Good luck on the challenges!
Wow! You've got quite the list of challenges. Good luck completing as many as you can.
ReplyDeleteI totally FAILED on the ONLY challenge I signed up for. It was the GR challenge and I posted by books at 200. I'm only at 96 (including my re-reads). I don't imagine I'm going to get another 100 in in 3 months. Well, not unless I suddenly find someone to watch my kids non-stop, quit my job, tell the husband he can't talk to me until January, cut off my cell phone and STOP BLOGGING! Ummmm...yeah....I don't see any of that happening. o_o Besides, I kinda like my kids. LOL!
ReplyDeleteI think you amaze me at all the ones you try. I'm a scared wimp since I only did the ones I was pretty sure I'd do well. LOL Yes, I fail for not pushing myself!
ReplyDeleteWow..how do you have time for anything else with all the challenges! I hope you can make some of them.
ReplyDeleteAnd Friday Night Lights, LOVE! :) Hope you enjoy it.
I love all of these challenges! I wish I had known about all of them sooner! If it wasn't so late in the year, I'd jump in on them!

Yeah, I think you might be an overachiever! But that's okay!!! <3333 Just live by my motto and RUN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION FROM THE PRESSURE! :D
