I’m doing 3 so far!
I’m debating adding at least one more.
I have mine listed on my blog here
I’ve never done a yearly reading challenge, since I just started blogging in June, but I definitely plan to change that next year.
I want to do the debut author challenge hosted by the story siren. I also want to read 125 books by the year as a personal goal. I might add more challenges, but I’m not sure yet.
You can make your own progress bar here: http://www.languageisavirus.com/nanowrimo/word-meter.html
They are actually for counting the words for NaNoWriMo, but can adapted easily to work with books as well.
HTH
I am participating in 4 so far…eBook challenge, debut author challenge, TBR Pile challenge, and the paranormal romance series challenge, which is hosted by my own blog. I am looking to do one more, and that should be good for 2012.
I use the the progress bars on my blog. If you want to visit Book Bound, you can scroll down and find my challenges sidebar, click on one of the progress bars, and it will bring you to the page to create your own. I customize mine a bit, in terms of size and the wording.
Hope that helps!
