New Reading Challenges for 2012

I like to participate in reading challenges and am definitely more successful at some than at others.  I also tend to be extremely loyal to a couple of challenges as I really enjoy them.  Here are a couple of challenges that I have been doing since they first started and I am signing up again this year.  For more information on any of these challenges, check out Book Chick City.
