These are the reading challenges that I'll be participating in this year. I've decided that I'm only going to be keeping up with no more than 5 reading challenges. Most of the books that I'll be reading this year, will be able to cross-over with at least two or three of the challenges. And, of course, I'll still be participating in the 2014 Goodreads Reading Challenge as well.

Evie @ Bookish is hosting the TBR Pile Reading Challenge and I thought that would be a fantastic challenge for me to participate in, since I have loads of books sitting on my shelves and on my Kindle that I've practically had forever and need to get around to reading. Perfect challenge for that. I decided my level for this particular reading challenge would be First Kiss (21-30) books. I can easily meet that challenge using my TBR Reading Jar, no problems and no extra stress.

For 2014, I decided that I'm only going to concentrate on four reading challenges, instead of killing myself with too many and the 2014 Review Pile Reading Challenge that both Rachel @ Fiktshun and Reanna @ Phantasmic Reads are hosting is right up my alley because I have WAAAAY TO MANY review books that I haven't been able to read yet. I feel bad about not being able to read and review them as quickly as I would like, but there were a few things that prevented me from making that happen.
So, I'm using this challenge to clean up my Netgalley shelf and read various other review books that I have received from different publishers, both physical and eGalley's. For now I'm aiming for the Journeyman level (11-20) books, but I'm hoping to get more than that read and be able to move up another level, we'll see. Right now, I don't want to set my reading goal too high that I feel as if it might end up making me feel overwhelmed at some point down the line. It's just easier for me to start small and work my way up.

Since my Kindle has become my new bff and I spend most of my reading time using it, I thought this challenge would be perfectly easy for me to handle in the new year. For some reason, I find it a lot easier to read on my Kindle, I don't know if it's because I feel like I'm able to get through a book faster or what, but I have gone from staunchly disliking them in the last three years to loving my eReader more than anything. Plus, I'm not tied down to my computer when I have eGalley's that I need to finish up with and get reviewed. The ease of Netgalley's automatically sending whatever galley I have been approved for there straight to my Kindle, makes things a lot more hassle-free.
I've decided that I'm going to start with the DVD level, which consists of 25 eBooks and work my way up the levels from there. I haven't decided what books I'm going to read yet, but I think I'll work on that as I choose to read them. I know there'll be some review galley's thrown in there and some other eBooks that I've been meaning to read that have been on my Kindle for months now, some gifted and some not.
