Reading Challenges 2011
Well, I’ve been pretty lazy about getting my reading challenge posts up for next year. There are quite a few I’d like to try. Let’s see how organized I can get things.
First up, not really an official reading challenge, but recently, one of my favorite authors, Jeaniene Frost, posted her Top 10 books. Sadly, I haven’t read a single book on her list. So as a personal challenge, I’m going to read those books because they all sound good. Here is the list:
- Skye O’Malley, by Bertrice Small
- The Bourne Identity, by Robert Ludlum
- Chances, by Jackie Collins
- The Other Side of Midnight, by Sidney Sheldon
- Gone With the Wind, by Margaret Mitchell
- The Far Pavilions, by M.M. Kaye
- Watchers, by Dean Koontz
- Outlander, by Diana Gabaldon
- Guilty Pleasures, by Laurell K Hamilton
- Wicked Lovely, by Melissa Marr
Here is a look at the other reading challenges I plan to sign up for. Official sign up posts coming soon. I promise.
And of course, the reading challenge I’m hosting:
I’m really happy with these choices for my reading challenges. I think they will provide me with a great mix of books, plus give me some focus.
What challenges will you be participating in? Am I missing any challenges of vital importance? Let me know. 
ooooh 2011 will be buuuusy LOL Great RCs =)))

Thanks for participating in my reading challenges! I think 2011 will be 'year of the reading challenges' for me too

Thank you for putting the button to my challenge up! (Dusty Volumes). I may be getting a Kindle so I'll be signing up for yours and I also want to do Book Chick City's Horror and Paranormal reading challenge. The Story Siren's Debut Author Challenge exposed me to a few books I've really liked too. I've also read quite a few of the books on Janiene Frost's list. My favorite is Dean Koontz Watchers.

2011 is going to be a fun one for you! I'm interested to see what you think of Outlander — I liked it but…

I'm super excited you are joining me for the 111 in '11! GWTW is amazing, I just read it this year. Watchers by DK is one of his best!

I really want to do a book challenge, but that would mean I'd have to reorganize my tbr (which I really need to do because it recently got screwed up!
). Maybe I'll get it organized and use your list to chose. Anything is possible. 
Btw, I think you'll like Guilty Pleasures. Did you get Outlander when it was free? Would be perfect for your challenge. I loved that book when I read it. I have Wicked Lovely on my tbr. Can't wait.

Oh Yay, an audio book challenge! I'm entering this one right now. Thanks for sharing that.
I love Jeaniene Frosts faves. I've actually read a few of those when I was younger. Bertrice Small and Jackie Collins were my teenage favorites and have a home on my permanent bookshelf.
If I get any type of ereader for Christmas like I'm hoping, I'll also join your challenge as well.

oOOOO NEW FOLLOWER!
I hope you like Bertrice Small – the Skye O'Malley saga is great. I have read the first two books and many others by this author.
Also, I heart Laurell K Hamilton!
I have Melissa Marr on my TBR list for this coming year.

I absolutely agree with Jennie. Watchers is one of Koontz's best books. I've read it over and over. So amazing!
