It's a Challenge to Say No

Yes, I admit I'm a challenge addict. Yes, I admit that I sometimes fail challenges. Yes, I'm nuts. Anyway, here are a few more that I'm signing up for.

  • The 2011 Audiobook Challenge is hosted by Teresa's Reading Corner. You knew I had to enter this one, didn't you? I'm committing to 12 audiobooks for the challenge, which is the addicted level. Please check out the sign-up post for more information.
  • I'm so excited about the Foodie's Challenge, hosted by Margot from Joyfully Retired. The challenge has a dedicated blog, where you can sign-up and learn more about the challenge. I'm in for the gourmet level. Qualifying books include everything from foodie novels to nonfiction to cookbooks.
  • Amy from My Friend Amy is hosting the third annual, Buy One Book and Read It challenge. As always, I'm committing to 12 books, but you can join this challenge on the one-book level if you want. Check out the sign-up post.
  • I'm happy to see that Carrie from Books and Movies is hosting the Ireland Reading Challenge again. I discovered some great books in this year's challenge and can't wait to see what I find for 2011. I'm going for the Luck o' the Irish Level. Read the sign-up post and join in.
I'm kind of hoping no other challenges catch my eye, but I'll likely find one or two more that I can't resist.

  1. Oh you have tempted me to already break my resolution of one challenge for next year, and it isn't even New Year's Day, lol.

    That foodie challenge is a hard one for me to resist. I'm off to check it out now.

  2. I already broke my promise (no challenges in 2011) as I see about 5 I MUST join....LOL (you are not alone).

  3. It IS a challenge to say no, but I am. When I looked through the challenges I participated in for 2010, most of them were gimmes (audiobooks? library? e-books?) and not really challenges at all. So far the only thing I'm doing is The Dare so maybe I can just focus on what I have...that pile that just keeps getting bigger! Good luck on these. I know you will kick them to the curb!

  5. Doesn't the Foodie challenge look fabulous? I guess food books are my guilty pleasure--well, not very guilty!

  6. Oooh, I love challenges but I'm so terrible at them -- I almost never complete them! Of course, I've signed up for a bunch in 2011 and the foodie one you feature here is calling to me...

  17. This year we're switching roles and you're going challenge crazy. Me, I'm sticking with 5, not including the one I'm hosting. I'm also doing Carrie's Ireland challenge again. Fun. Fun. You'd be proud of me, I'm actually listening to a audio book in the car - chopin's manuscript.

  25. HA! But you've chosen challenges that you would have likely completed whether you joined them or not so don't look at it like you can't say no, look at it like you were going to be doing it anyway :)

  26. Michelle: Ha! YOu know me too well.

  27. You're as bad as me! I can't stop signing up for reading challenges either. I'll be joining you with the audio book challenge too.

  28. I haven't yet announced any challenges that I'm joining, but I'll be sure to do "What's in a Name" at the very least :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. Oh gosh. You already told me about Foodie, but I didn't know about Audiobook! Must write another challenge post.

    ReplyDelete
  30. I immediately signed up for the Foodie's challenge too and I *knew* I was going to meet you there ;)

    That makes four 2011 challenges for now, so I'm keeping the lid on the challenge bucket from now on! I hope.
