I'm a newbie Contemporary fan, so I wanted to join this challenge. And plus, I already own some of these contemporary books! I just haven't gotten to reading them.

2010
-Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins
-Before I Fall by Lauren Oliver
-A Blue So Dark by Holly Schindler

2011
-Epic Fail by Claire LaZebnik
-There You'll Find Me by Jenny B. Jones
-Forgotten by Cat Patrick

2012
-Where It Began by Ann Redisch Stampler
-The Thing About the Truth by Lauren Barnholdt
-Dead To You by Lisa McMann

2012 TBR Pile Reading Challenge

Originial post @ Bookish

Challenge guidelines: 

1. This challenge will run from Jan 1, 2012 - Dec 31, 2012.
2. As we would like to see quality reviews linked up to our monthly wrap-ups, only bloggers can enter. Sorry about that!
3. Any genre, length or format of book counts, as long as it is a book that's been sitting on your shelf for some time now. Only books released in 2011 and earlier! NO ARCs and 2012 fresh-off-the-press releases allowed!
4. You can list your books in advance or just put them in a wrap-up post. If you list them, feel free to change them as the mood takes you.
5. When you sign up in the linky, put the direct link to your post about joining the 2012 TBR PILE Reading Challenge (You need to include the info + host list + challenge button. You can also grab the button code and add it to your sidebar!)
6. You can move up levels, but no moving down.
7. Sign-ups will be open until Dec 15, 2012, so feel free to join at any time throughout the year.
8. At the end of each month one of the hosts will post a wrap-up. Every wrap-up will have it's unique theme, a mini-challenge, a giveaway and place for you to link up your reviews from this month. For each review you link up, you will get one entry in a drawing of one book of choice from Book Depository. It's open to INTERNATIONALS. For participating in the mini-challenge you will get +1 entry.
9. If you miss a wrap-up post + giveaway, you can link up your reviews next month. Do not, however, try to link up one review twice - we will be checking ;)
10. December is a wrap-up for the whole year. All the book reviews you linked up January-November + the ones you'll link up in December will be entered into a HUGE giveaway - 12 books, 12 winners, INTERNATIONAL. 

You don't have to follow all the hosts to join the challenge, but you do have to follow all of us to be entered in giveaways!

The level I think I'll be comfortable with is probably A Friendly Hug, which is to read 11-20 books. I have tons of books that have been published in 2011 that I haven't read yet! I know, for sure, I'm not reading the whole list. But I'm just keeping track of the ones I want to read before this year is over. :D Fingers crossed I make it to at least 11 of these books! Here are books I plan on reading for this challenge:

-The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkins

-A Beautiful Dark by Jocelyn Davies

-Delirium by Lauren Oliver

-Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor

-Possess by Gretchen McNeil

-Wildefire by Karsten Knight

-The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins

-Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini

-Hereafter by Tara Hudson

-Divergent by Veronica Roth

-Dearly, Departed by Lia Habel

-Shatter Me by Tahereh Mafi

-A Need So Beautiful by Suzanne Young

-Ripple by Mandy Hubbard

-White Cat by Holly Black

-Wither by Lauren DeStefano

-Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins

-Perfect Chemistry by Simone Elkeles

-and etc.

Soul Screamers Reading Challenge

Hosted by Fiktshun

The Soul Screamers Challenge will begin on January 15, 2012 and end on June 14, 2012.

You can join the challenge at any time during the above dates by signing up in THIS POST.

You do not have to be a book blogger to join. You just need somewhere to post your review and/or talk about the books you've read (i.e., Facebook, Goodreads, personal blog). If you do not have any of those outlets, and your review is positive, I will be happy to post your review as a guest post on my blog Soul Screamers Reading Challenge.

Books must be read and reviewed between January 15th and June 14th. You can read and review them at any time during the challenge, but each book you read and review during the scheduled month will give you an extra entry into the Before I Wake giveaway at the end of the challenge.

You can read the books in any format or edition you’d like – eBook, audiobook or even in print!

Each month, on the 15th, there will be a post in which you can link up your reviews or posts for THAT MONTH ONLY. You can leave more than one link if you've read and reviewed more than one of the books that month.

I don't know why it's taken me this long to read the Soul Screamers series! I've only read the first book (review to be posted soon) this year [2012]! Surprising, I know.

I'll be reading the rest of the books in the schedule order: 

My Soul to Take - January 15th to February 14th, 2012

My Soul to Save - February 15th to March 14th, 2012 

My Soul to Keep - March 15th to April 14th, 2012

My Soul to Steal - April 15th to May 14th, 2012

If I Die - May 15th to June 14th, 2012

I like the fact that it's a month long thing, so it's not rushing me. Because it'll probably be a hassle for me to get these books from the library :p

The NetGalley Challenge

Orginial post @ Miss Remmers' Reviews

I didn't think I'd be one to participate in challenges, but it seems really fun! Hopefully I won't get involved into too many and end up not finishing them.

I'm a new NetGalley member, and I must say I love NetGalley! At first, I was a tad bit hestitant. But then I got accepted for the first time and it made me super excited. I also got declined for the first time, but that's a different story. For this challenge, I'm going to try and read an approximate number of 30ish NetGalley books. With my new Kindle, it's quite easy to read books fast! I'm almost done with my second ebook! So, wish me luck(: I'll keep up-to-date with everything on this post.
