Challenge Info
  • Timeline: 01 Jan 2014 – 31 Dec 2014
  • Rules: Read 100 books in 2014 (any genre)
  • You don’t have to select your books ahead of time, you can just add them as you go. Also if you do list them upfront you can change them, nothing is set in stone! The books you choose can crossover into other challenges you have on the go.
  • You can join at anytime. All books read in 2014 count towards the challenge regardless of when you sign up.
  • Audiobooks are accepted.
  • Only fiction, no non-fiction.
  • This challenge can crossover with other challenges.
  • You don’t have to have a blog to join in – for those without a blog but who use Goodreads, Amazon, LibraryThing etc, you can add the URL to where you track your books. If you don’t have a URL at all then choose a name you would like to use and then copy and paste the following link: http://wp.me/p2wdqf-6ZI
  • At the beginning of each month I will be posting an open thread so you can discuss the books you’ve read and/or link up your reviews.


I have never made it to 100 books in a challenge, but I am getting closer every year, so really hoping I can do it next year!  100 is much more attainable then the 150 challenges I was doing before.

2014 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge


2014 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge 




2014 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge


What’s your reading goal for 2014? If it’s to read more books, then this is the reading challenge for you! There have been 500+ readers who have wanted to outdo themselves so far. Are you up for the challenge?

Reading Challenge Details:
  • Runs January 1, 2014 – December 31, 2014 (books read prior to 1/1/2014 do not count towards the challenge). You can join anytime before 9/30/2014. Sign up on The Book Vixen’s blog.
  • The goal is to outdo yourself by reading more books in 2014 than you did in 2013. 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.
  • Books can be any format (print, ebook, audio).
  • Books can be any genre (fiction, nonfiction, romance, mystery, etc.).
  • Novellas that are at least 100 pages in length, as well as full-length novels, will count for this reading challenge.
  • Re-reads and crossovers from other reading challenges are allowed.
  • To join the challenge, grab the 2014 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge button and post this reading challenge on your blog to track your progress. Please include a link back to this sign-up post so others can join the reading challenge too. You do not have to be a book blogger to participate; you can track your progress on Goodreads, LibraryThing, BookLikes, Libib, etc., so as long as you have a dedicated shelf for the 2014 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge and your profile is not private. The point of linking up is to have a place where people can see what you’re reading.

Levels:
     Getting my heart rate up – Read 1–5 more books
     Out of breath – Read 6–10 more books
     Breaking a sweat – Read 11–15 more books
     I’m on fire! – Read 16+ more books


I know that for 2014 I want to do the 'Getting my heart rate up' again.  So I guess I will update this part on Jan 1st.  As of now I have read 66 books, which means I need to read 67-72 books...but I am also currently reading book 67 and I still have 2 weeks left, so I know I will have to update this part.

 *edit*  I read a total of 69 books in 2013, 1 more then my original goal of 63-68, so yay me!  So my goal for 2014 using the 'Getting your heat rate up' will be 70-74 books!  

*EDIT*  I hit my original goal of 70-74 books.  So I am updating it to 'Out of Breath'  which is 6-10 more books then last year, which means I need to read 75-79 books…actually, I think I am going to go for 'Breaking A Sweat' which is 11-15 more books then last year.  That would put my number of books I need to read at 80-84 books.

 About to start my 1st book of the new year now!  Good Luck everyone!
