There's still a few days of 2010 left so I'm not going to blog about my success (or lack of) with my 2010 challenges just yet. But I am thinking about the reading challenges I'm going to tackle for 2011.
I'm definitely going to try the 52 books in 52 weeks again. I think the chances of me getting there this year are slim, though I won't stop trying until December 31st. And it is a challenge I'd like to win at least once. If for no other reason than to get tackle my TBR pile.
Also if there's a DIK challenge for next year I'll be giving that one a go as well.
But the following are going to be new challenges for 2011.
Banned Books Challenge
I'm going to make a concerted effort to read more books from the banned books list next year. I say I'll do this every year and never do, so it's making the reading challenge list for next year. I'm doing it from the 2000-2009 top 100 most challenged list.
So far from that list I have read:-
Of Mice and Men - John Steinbeck
The Color Purple - Alice Walker
To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
Not exactly a flying start. If I can get my total into double figures I'll be very pleased.
Series Completion Challenge
I'm not going to do a list here - I'm saving that for January - but my other big challenge for 2011 is to catch up with as many series as possible. This should certainly help with my 2011 52 books in 52 weeks challenge.

Good luck with your challenges! I'm still tossing a few back and forth, but am definitely trying for 100 books next year. I still haven't managed it.. every year I get a little bit closer...
Happy Holidays!
Christine - thank you. 100 books - eek. I didn't even manage 52 this year.
