So here's a list of all the Reading Challenges I've accepted this year. Just for fun and nothing too extreme. I just figured that having some Reading Challenges would help me expand upon the amount of reading I already do.

2014 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge hosted by The Book Vixen
- One of my goals this year is to go further beyond my 100 book reading challenge. I managed 101 books last year (and then some that I probably forgot to log), and so this year, I'm going for an "outdo myself" anyway. But I'm still going to be a bit realistic, the level I'm choosing will probably just be the simplest one:
Getting my heart rate up -- Read 1 - 5 more books
Out of breath -- Read 6 - 10 more books
Breaking a sweat -- Read 11 - 15 more books
I'm on fire! -- Read 16+ more books
Goal: Read 1 to 5 more books (102 to 106) -- CHALLENGE COMPLETED -- 9/1/2014
Updated Goal: Read 16+ more books
(Last year's total: 101 -- Means I need to read at least 118 books)
Progress: 108/118
My List:
1. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - Review
2. The Distance Between Us by Kasie West - Review
3. The Unbound (The Archived, book 2) by Victoria Schwab - Review
4. Split Second (Pivot Point, book 2) by Kasie West - Review
5. The Giver by Lois Lowry - Review
6. Serial Hottie by Kelly Oram - Review
7. The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima - Review
8. This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith - Review
9. The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith
10. Poison Study (Study, book 1) by Maria V. Snyder - Review

2014 TBR Pile Challenge hosted by The Bookish Team
- This is another TBR Pile Challenge, but a bit more lax than the above mentioned one hosted by Roof Beam Reader. There's no list or number of books that NEED to be read by the end of the year, but there's a level scale dependent on how many books you finish for this challenge. This one looks to be right up my alley!
1-10 - A Firm Handshake
11-20 - A Friendly Hug
21-30 - First Kiss
31-40 - Sweet Summer Fling
41-50 - Could this be love?
50+ - Married With Children
Goal: Sweet Summer Fling (31 to 40 books) -- COMPLETED May 5, 2014
Next Goal: Married With Children (50+ books) -- COMPLETED June 2, 2014
Progress: 101/50
My List: (Must be books published in 2013 or earlier)
1. The Book Thief by Markus Zusak - Review
2. The Distance Between Us by Kasie West - Review
3. The Giver by Lois Lowry - Review
4. Serial Hottie by Kelly Oram - Review
5. The Demon King by Cinda Williams Chima - Review
6. This Is What Happy Looks Like by Jennifer E. Smith - Review
7. The Cuckoo's Calling by Robert Galbraith

2014 Series Challenge hosted by Read. Sleep. Repeat.
- THIS! This Reading Challenge is perfect for all of those series that I still need to finish (Divergent, etc...), or those series in which I've already read Book #1 (Partials, Lunar Chronicles, so on and so forth), as well as all the series I'm following like a maniacal fangirl that conclude this year (The Grisha...), and am truly wanting to simply finish said series! I am SO participating in this one! Besides, I already have a list of series I'm reading and need to finish, and series I'm wanting to start reading that finish this year. I have an excel spreadsheet for that too.
And OMG! Badges!
Bronze Badge: 1 - 3 Series
Silver Badge: 4 - 6 Series
Gold Badge: 7 - 11 Series
Platinum Badge: 12 or more Series
Goal: Gold Badge (7 to 11 series)
I'm going to be realistic here and not go for the Platinum even though I've already listed at least 20 different series I could finish this year (Keyword: "could"). But since there are definitely at least 5 series I already had plans to finish, I'm going to challenge myself to finish at least two more.
See: 2014 Series Challenge for official listings and updates on this challenge.
Progress: 21 series completed/caught up with for 2014.
See 2014 Series Challenge on my bookshelf for a list of books completed for this challenge.

As of right now, these are the only Reading Challenges that I've decided to participate in. I should probably just stick to these since you never know what the new year has in store for you until it happens. For all I know, I may not even get around to reading enough books to finish my 100 book challenge... which would make me sad, but life happens, right?
