Yeah, I can definitely relate. At least for the Series Challenge, I’d be mostly reading new-to-me books, whereas I wouldn’t for the other; but either way, it’s going to be a delicate balance between new and old books. Meh, I’ll see…

I though the movie/book challenge you mentioned sounded pretty good! I’ll be making up my mind soon!

I thought about both those challenges too. As a blogger, I think it can be really hard to take the time to do re-reads or to finish a series, especially since I personally feel some pressure to constantly be writing new reviews. Those challenges seem like a great way to start fitting re-reads and series back into blogging!

That sounds like it could be a great idea, especially if challenges can stress you out. The Classics Club seems like a fun one and I always enjoying hearing about the classics you read

Haha, definitely too many challenges. I’ll hopefully narrow it down this week. I’ll be interested to see what you decide to do

That surprises me, since it looks like you’re from the UK. In the US, I have to try much more deliberately to read foreign authors than I do authors from the US! I think it’s wonderful that you’re supporting local authors though

Good Luck! I think I’m taking the year off from challenges, aside from a personal read at least one classic a month to stay on track with the Classics Club.

Oh wow! And here I am trying to choose from my list of two, haha. I’m eyeing the 2014 Series Challenge as well as the 2014 Rewind Challenge – I like short-term, monthly challenges more, but I’d like to give these year-long challenges a try. I’m looking forward to seeing your choices for Round 2!

WOW! Lots of challenges! I did 1 this year- Cruisin for Cozies- which I completed pretty early thanks to some ARC’s. I’m trying to decide if I want to participate in any challenges this year or not. Jury is still out!

I always do the British Books Challenge, but I might pick one or two others for 2014
