Challenges 2013

For 2013 I am partaking in just two challenges. The first is the British Books Challenge and then I am taking part in the Goodreads personal challenge...


2013 British Author Challenge

This year the British Books Challenge is being hosted by Sarah at Feeling Fictional. Its a great chance to support those fantastic British Authors so head on over there to find out more! 
The idea of the British Books Challenge is to read at least 12 books by British authors throughout the year. In 2012 I read at least 55 books by British Authors so I am confident I can complete this challenge, my challenge will just be remembering to linky them! 

Anyway, books I am hoping to read in 2013 by British Authors include: 
A Witch Alone by Ruth Warburton 
Fractured by Teri Terry
Cruel Summer by James Dawson
Acid by Emma Pass 
The Night Itself by Zoe Marriott 
Witch Fire - Laura Powell 

As mentioned, I am confident that my list will reach over 12 by the end of 2013 so I am giving myself the personal challenge of 35 British books for the year, which is just less than three a month.

2013 Gooreads challenge


This years challenge is to read 175 books. I started last years at 100 and when I was halfway there just a few months in I realised that was too low a target. I finished on 185 but have a busier year planned this year so 175 will probably be a challenge! Lets hope I complete it!
