2015 Challenges

So last year was a complete failure on my challenges.  I worried I wasn't going to be able to read as much as I did previously, but I really struggled to finish books, which caused me to not finish a bunch of the challenges that I set for myself.  The other issue was that I was a pretty terrible blogger.  I did a lot of the challenges, I just never got around to writing reviews for the books I did read.  I am going to try to be better this year.  Here are the challenges I plan to take on:

This is probably my favorite of the challenges.  Some years I make the goal of getting to 12, other years not so much.  I am going to try and hit 12 this year.

I love contemporaries, my challenge on this one will be to actually review the contemporaries I read.  Because reviews are involved, I am going with the easiest level, Poppy: 1-5

I need this challenge so much.  I have tons of books I have downloaded and I still need to review.  I really want to make my goal on this one. I'm going for the Bronze level at 10 books.

This is a new one for me.  I love fairytale books, and I've got my eye on a few to read.  Even so, I am keeping this one on the low end and putting my goal at Prince Charming: 1 – 4 books.

There are no levels on this one, but I think I think I can get at least 5 diverse books read and reviewed this year.
