2011: E-Book Challenge

Another challenge, I know, I know… I joined a few 2011 reading challenges then said no more, then I found the Vintage Mystery Challenge, and told myself no more, then I found this e-book reading challenge and said, okay, one more.

The Ladybug Reads is holding the challenge this year, and here is what she has to say:

This challenge was previously hosted by Alaine at Queen of Happy Endings.  When she started looking for new homes for the 2011 challenges, I jumped at the chance to host this one.  Since getting a Kobo eReader this past year, I’ve started reading more e-books.  Since e-readers are now available internationally, a lot more people are going to be reading books in digital format.  So why not challenge yourself and read even more?

This challenge starts January 1, 2011 and runs through December 31, 2011.
There are four levels for the challenge:

1.  Curious – Read 3 e-books.
2. Fascinated – Read 6 e-books.
3. Addicted – Read 12 e-books.
4. Obsessed – Read 20 e-books.

(Update!) There have been three new levels added to the e-book challenge:

5. Possessed – Read 50 e-books.
6. Fanatical – Read 75 e-books.
7. Monomaniacal – read 100 e-books.

I’m signed up for the Obsessed level to read 20 e-books during 2011. However! I am giving myself a PERSONAL guideline for this challenge. This is NOT a rule being set forth by the host of the challenge. There is no rule saying that overlaps with other challenges are not allowed, but I am not going to count any e-books that I read for other challenges toward this one. Why, you might be wondering, am I placing this restraint on myself… Well I re-counted, and I have somewhere in the neighborhood of 3,000 unread ebooks. That’s a lot. Like, a lot more than I realized (by a lot I’m talking in the neighborhood of 1,000 more than I thought I had. Yeah, like I said. A lot.) So while I know for a fact that some of the books I’ll be reading for other 2011 challenges will be e-books, I’m not counting them towards my 20 for this challenge and they will be listed separately.

(Update!) While I intend to stay signed up for the Obsessed level, I am going to attempt the higher levels since I have so many ebooks to read.

Happy e-reading!
