Here is a list of all the challenges that I am currently participating in for 2012. I'll try to keep this list updated throughout the year as I complete portions of it. To see what I thought of a book just click on the links that I add to the book titles. If you are interested in learning more about these challenges or signing up yourself just click on the Title of each that appears before the summary.
What's in a Name 5
Here's how it works: Between January 1 and December 31, 2012, read one book in each of the following categories. Overlaps are allowed between other challenges but not between categories and books can be any media source (print, audio, ebook). I'll be replacing the examples with the actual titles of the books I read as I read them
