2014 Outdo Yourself Reading Challenge (hosted by: The Book Vixen)
Like last year, the goal of this challenge is to read more books in 2014 than in 2013. There are four levels: 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)
Since I've fallen short of my goal for the last two years, I'm aiming for the lowest level, a Getting My Heart Rate Up 1-5 books more than last year. If I can do better I definitely will.

2014 Audiobook Challenge (hosted by: The Book Nympho & Hot Listens)
"The goal is to find a new love for audios or to outdo yourself by listening to more audios in 2014 than you did in 2013. Books must be in audio format (CD, MP3, etc.)"
Levels: * Newbie (I’ll give it a try) 1-5 * Weekend Warrior (I’m getting the hang of this) 5-10 * Stenographer (can listen while multi-tasking) 10-15 * Socially Awkward (Don’t talk to me) 15-20 * Binge Listener (Why read when someone can do it for you) 20-30 * My Precious (I had my earbuds surgically implanted) 30+
Last year, finances found most of my reading coming from my local library, and because of this I discovered the benefits of audiobooks. I actually ended the year with that being my dominant type of reading. I can now read while I'm doing other things! So I plan to aim high . . . My goal level is: My Precious.
[UPDATE 1/1/14]: Loupe Duffy, at Hot Listens, has put together a guide to finding great deals on audiobooks, and many places offer them for free. {Hop on over and check it out}

2014 Ebook Reading Challenge (hosted by: Workaday Reads)

At the beginning of each month there will be a roundup post for you to add your reviews for that month. The linky will remain open for the remainder of the year, so if you forget, feel free go back and add them when you remember.
I read ebooks but I've also added audio books from the library to my repertoire, so once again I will aim low at the CD level with 10 books.
