2013 "WHERE Are You Reading?" Challenge

I have also decided to participate in the 2013 WHERE Are You Reading? Challenge, which is being hosted by Sheila over at Book Journey.

For this challenge, you will try to read books from each of the 50 states, and other countries around the world if you choose to, between January 1 2013 – December 31, 2013. For complete information about the challenge and to sign up, go over to Book Journey. Also, if you decide to join the fun, here's a "how to" page for setting up the map, links, and so on, also found in the Book Journey blog.

Here's my map for the challenge:

2013 Genre Variety Reading Challenge

In 2013, I'll be participating in the 2013 Genre Variety Reading Challenge which will be hosted over at A Daydreamer's Thoughts. Are you wondering what the challenge is about? Well, Faye explains it better than I could, so I'll leave you to read the instructions below.

Taken from A Daydreamer's Thoughts

The challenge is to read books from different genres throughout the year. I have found that blogging has opened my eyes to so many genres that I would never have tried before, simply from recommendations, and the idea of this challenge is to keep that going. The challenge is to read a large variety of genres within one year.

Levels;

Careful; 6 different genres, 6 books
Cautious; 12 different genres, 12 books
Branching; 18 different genres, 18 books
Avid Reader; 24 different genres, 24 books
Champion; 30 different genres, 30 books

Categories;

This is just a list of the vast variety of genres you have to choose from. I have probably missed a lot, so feel free to branch off from this. These are just suggestions.


Contemporary ● Historical ● Paranormal ● Fantasy ● Romance ● Sci-Fi ● Crime ● Thriller ● Adventure ● Non-Fiction ● Women’s Fiction ● Chick-Lit ● Dystopian ● Epic Fantasy ● Western ● Comedy ● Horror ● MANfiction ● Self-Help ● Biography ● Auto-biography ● Religious ● Fairy Tales ● Classics ● Erotica ● Short Stories ● Travel Guides ● Mystery ● Suspence

I also found this website with more book genres.
