My 2012 Challenges

Here is how I got on with my challenges of 2012:

GOODREADS CHALLENGE

The first challenge that I entered was the 2012 Goodreads reading challenge. I entered this last year too, it is very straight forward to finish. All you have to do is set the amount of books you want to read and try and complete it. My goal is to read 100 books this year. Lets hope I make it or even exceed it.
If you want to join this challenge go to:

Update: 100% complete!
DONE!

WITCHES AND WITCHCRAFT CHALLENGE

My second challenge was one that was recommended to me on Goodreads. The 2012 Witches & Witchcraft Reading Challenge. Usually I don't like Witchy books but a few have caught my eye so I thought I may as well enter. When you enter you have to choose a level.
The levels are:
Intiate: Read 1-5 witchy books
Maiden: Read 6-10 witchy books
Mother: Read 11-15 witchy books
Crone: Read 16-20 witchy books

A-Z CHALLENGE

The third challenge that I entered was the Babies, Books and signs A-Z challenge. I'm going with option B which is to add the books as I go along (option A is choosing them before you start). This should be OK, I'm two days into 2012 and I've already finished my first book.
