I am also participating in The Book Vixens Outdo yourself reading challenge.  The challenge here is to read more books then I did last year.

  • The goal is to outdo yourself by reading more books in 2013 than you did in 2012. See the different levels below and pick the one that works best for you. You can move up a level as often as you’d like but no moving down.

I personally am going for the "Getting my heart rate up" level in this challenge, to read 1-5 more books then I did last year.  Last year I read 63 books, so my goal in this challenge is to read 64-68 books.
