My CHALLENGES For 2011

Below is a list of assorted Reading Challenges

I've chosen to take on this year.

You can click on a badge to be taken to the sign up page

for that particular challenge,

in case you are interested in joining as well.

Next to each badge you will also find a link to a page on this blog documenting my progress (or lack thereof) in that challenge.

This page is linked in the side bar to:
MY READING CHALLENGES FOR 2011,
with its pretty tree of books.

If you are interested in joining a challenge but are not drawn to any on my list, here is a link that offers many other choices: A NOVEL CHALLENGE.

Hosted by: Opinions of a Wolf. 

Reading to raise awareness, knowledge, and acceptance of mental illness, both fiction (books featuring characters with a mental illness depicted in a sympathetic light) and nonfiction (from self-help books to academic books on the topic). No book read for the challenge may demonize the mentally ill.

From: A Year of Feminist Classics.

The project will work a little like an informal reading group: for the whole of 2011, we’ll be reading a book a month from this list of classic feminist fiction and non-fiction, and each of us will be in charge of the subsequent discussion for three months.
