2014 TBR Pile Reading Challenge
I desperately need this challenge. Every year I commit to reading books that have been sitting on my shelf forever, and almost every year I spectacularly fail. This year I am going to commit to the Firm Handshake Level and read at least 8 books that are currently sitting on my shelf. That seems so pathetic, but I really don't want to over-commit. I may make it extra challenging and pick a book that was published in each of the last 5 years. More if I can find them!
1. Forget You by Jennifer Echols
2. The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks by E. Lockhart
3. Just Like Fate by Cat Patrick & Suzanne Young
4. Angel Fever (Angel #3) by L.A. Weatherly
5. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak
6. Catching Jordan (Hundred Oaks #1)
7. Stealing Parker (Hundred Oaks) by Miranda Kenneally

2014 Goodreads Reading Challenge
This will be the biggest challenge to myself. Last year I set the goal of 100 books, and I made it. This year, I am trying to be more realistic, and I set my goal at 50. It may be too many.
2014 Netgalley & Edelweiss Reading Challenge
Yet another challenge that I really need to accept. I have so many review book that I requested from both Netgalley and Edelweiss that I MUST read. I mean I asked for them, and I was approved, I really need to read them and write reviews. For this challenge I am going with the Bronze level of 10 books.

2014 Audio Book Challenge
I "read" my first audio book last year, I actually really liked it. I found that audiobooks are great to listen to while taking road trips, cleaning, or really doing anything else. The lowest level on this one is 6 books. I am going for the lowest, and I really hope I make it.

2. Now and Forever by Susane Colasanti
3. Open Road Summer by Emery Lord
4. My Last Kiss by Bethany Neal
5. When I Was the Greatest by Jason Reynolds
