Young Adult Reading Challenge

8/40 books

Hosted by The Eclectic Bookshelf

I think this one won't be too much of a challenge because I love YA books and they're pretty easy to get through. I'm going to go with:

The Jumbo Size YA Reading Challenge – Read 40 Young Adult novels.

150+ Reading Challenge

12/150 books

Hosted by My Overstuffed Bookshelf

So I'm gonna try and read 150 books or more in 2012. Eek. Not gonna lie, I'm slightly intimidated by this number but if I consider the fact I'll be reading manga and graphic novels too, I think I'll be able to achieve the goal! \o/

Mount TBR Reading Challenge

0/12 books

Hosted by My Readers Block

It's slightly ridiculous how many books I have sitting around my house begging to be read so this will be my chance to get through a lot. I'm going to go for:

Pike's Peak: Read 12 books from your TBR pile/s

2012 Ebook Challenge

12/50 books

Hosted by Workaday Reads

Since getting an Ipad, I've read a lot more on there though I still love reading Physical books. I think there are upsides to both styles of reading, so I'll try and do a good mix of both next year. So I'm going to aim for:

Memory stick - 50 ebooks

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen Challenge

Hosted by Man of la book

I have never read the graphic novel, seen the movie or read ANY of the original classics, so I'll be killing three birds with one stone. I'm really excited for this one.

So I'll be reading:
Drac­ula by Bram Stoker
Twenty Thou­sand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne
Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde by Robert Louis Steven­son
The Invis­i­ble Man by H.G. Wells
The First Men in the Moon by H.G. Wells
Any Fu Manchu novel
Any Sher­lock Holmes novel
Any Allan Quater­main novel
Any James Bond novel
The League of Extra­or­di­nary Gen­tle­men graphic novel

And then watching the film of course :3

Charles Dickens Month

Hosted by Fig and Thistle

I'm ashamed to say I've only read two of Dickens novels and those were for school. I enjoyed them though and I'm eager to read more of his work. I'll also probably be watching the tv adaptation (if there is one) of each novel I read too.

I will try and read Little Dorrit, Oliver Twist and Bleak House. I'd also like to read Charles Dickens: A life.

Narnia Reading Challenge

0/7 books

Hosted by Rikki's Teleidoscope

I've shockingly never read any of the Narnia books before, especially as I love the movies. I know the movies made some changes so it'll be interesting to compare. Also, Aslan is amazing so I look forward to reading about him.

I'll be reading the books in publication order:

The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
Prince Caspian
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader
The Silver Chair
The Horse and His Boy
The Magician's Nephew
The Last Battle

I may also use this challenge as an excuse to re-watch the movies hurhur :3
