Can't help myself. I think it's an illness. Send help, please. Thank you.
Two more challenges added to my list, and I'm 99.9% sure they're my last for 2011 (but don't quote me on that).
I have been looking over my goodreads 'read' list and there are a few on the list that I would dearly love to read again because it's been many, many years since I first enjoyed them. With all the great new reads I've got planned for this year I couldn't really justify going back over old ground though...
And then it struck me. If I were 'challenged' to read them then that would be, like, different. It'd be rude not to accept a challenge. Right? Yeah, challenges are the way forward. Trust me.
And that's why there HAS to be 2 new challenges. See, some of the re-reads I want to do are from the Anne Rice Vampire Chronicles and since the challenge has a cute graphic for the sidebar I HAD to sign up. I think it's actually against the law to NOT sign up for challenges when you come across them. Or did I dream that?
Anyhoo, Job done.
I'm joining in with -

Haha, we need a Reading Challengers Anon! Or something! I know what it's like though, I'm not only doing my own that I'm hosting, but I started adding more.
Right now, during your post, I had to avert my eyes with the challenges! I think it's true about the law for them. That sounds about right and if it isn't lets pretend, then we won't feel so addicted.
Have fun re-reading The Vampire Chronicles. Those are some of my favourite books and I've been wanting to re-read them for awhile myself.
Me too! I'm totally addicted to challenges! And, I'm doing to reread challenge too! :)
