Obviously my blog has the same look. The new look is coming, I promise. Also, I've been sick with sinuses (ugh), so this week, I won't be blogging as much. Next week, I'll be back in the game!
Now, on to other things. It's that time of year again...time to join reading challenges. Here are a list of challenges I've decided to join. At the end of this post, I'll list the names of some of the books I plan to read and the challenges they belong to. Some of the books qualify for more than on challenge. Now, the thing this year for me is to actually review the books. Last year, I completed most of my challenge lists, but forgot to review. This year, I'm trying to do more book reviews this year.
This challenge is hosted by The Story Siren . The goal is to read at least 12 from new Young Adult/Middle Grade authors.
Ok, I saw this one and knew I had to join! I absolutely LOVE kick ass heroines! Yvonne over at Diva Bookcase is hosting it. All you need to do is read at least twelve books featuring kick ass heroines. The heroines do not have to be the main character, but a big part of the story. The books must be read in 2011.
The purpose of this challenge is for readers to diversify their reading and send a message to publishers: we want more PoC literature and less of white washing of covers. You can sign up here. I'm going for Level 4 or 5.
This challenge is hosted at I Eat Words. Books must be MG or YA and all series must have at least 3 books by the end of 2011. I'll start with Level 3.

I look forward to seeing what your choices will be. This is my first time doing any challenges.
I'm looking forward to seeing what your picture book choices will be for the Read-to-Me challenge -- I'm planning to read 120 picture books, as well.<br /><br />Now I'm wondering if I dare click on that Goodreads Challenge you've linked to. If I do all that reading, will I get any writing done? <br /><br />elizabethanne of elizabethannewrites
I will be following your book choices. I think we have already reached that goal since the library just said I couldn't check anymore books out on my son's card because he had reached the 100 book limit. Good thing we have 3 cards! But there are always more books to read.
You will be a busy reader in 2011. Enjoy!<br />Carmela
I am just terrible at reading challenges, otherwise I'd join the picturebooks one and the graphic novel one for sure! All three challenges look interesting - good luck and happy reading!
You know, I've seen so many reading challenges built into 2011 new years resolutions and now, your awe-inspiring list of challenges. . . it makes me want to participate! I'm glad I stumbled across your blog from the comment challenge, I'll definitely visit back to see what your thoughts are on the choices.
