I do intend to use the books I read in more than one challenge, so that will help a bit.
Overall I'm aiming at reading somewhere near 140 books.
As always my "extra" to each challenge is that my books will be crime fiction.
I will count all the books I read, made-from-paper, e-books, and audio books in my total.
Looking for some Challenge Ideas?
Here are the challenges and my level of commitment.
 | Canadian Book Challenge 2010-2011 I have to read 13 books by Canadian authors by 1 July 2011. So far I've read 8, so I'm well on track. |
 | 2011 Global Reading Challenge: Challenge site http://2011globalreadingchallenge.blogspot.com/ I have committed myself to reading 21 titles, all crime fiction, 3 titles each from 7 "continents". I think my 7th continent will be historical crime fiction. |

Memes I'll be participating in
 | Crime Fiction Alphabet I manage this one. Each week, beginning Monday 10 January 2011, you have to write a blog post about crime fiction related to the letter of the week. Your post MUST be related to either the first letter of a book's title, the first letter of an author's first name, or the first letter of the author's surname. |
