Anyone else doing a book challenge this year? [View all]

Since I read fast, I'm doing a few of them. I like how the challenges encourage me to read books that are outside my comfort zone, or that I might not consider reading otherwise.

Some of the best ones out there for adventurous readers are 52 Books in 52 weeks, Booklist Queen, Book Riot's Read Harder, and, surprisingly, Pop Sugar. Of course, if you're more interested in reading a bigger variety of books only within a particular genre, challenges for those exist as well.

Whichever kind of reader you are, this site provides a handy list of just about every reading challenge out there:
