Reading Challenges for 2015

As I did last year, I picked challenges that go along with my reading flow. There are one or two here that will require a bit more effort, but for the most part, these are challenges I can complete. This page is to help me keep track of all the challenges I am doing this year. It is also for my four readers so they can quickly see what I am up to in terms of reading challenges for 2015.

  • The 2015 Netgalley and Edelweiss Reading Challenge.
    • Initial goal: Silver Level = 25 books read and reviewed.

Will keep adding, but not upgrading to Gold Level (50 books) just yet as unsure if I can have the books reviewed on time (reading them, sure, that is the easy part).
