The 2014 Challenge Masterlist

I think I have a SERIOUS problem that involves me setting my standard too high and thinking I can do everything.

You've already seen the enormous wall of text that was my 2014 goals so you know how I can get carried away when I'm really excited for something. What you haven't seen yet is me miserably failing everything. Which is obviously going to happen, judging by the amount of things I'm putting on my plate. But of course, in classic Annie style, I go and add MORE things to do.

Guys, I swear I wasn't going to sign up for like a gazillion challenges. I was only going to do one or two but then everything kind of blew up in my face and I started seeing this and that and I just kept on saying I want to do that too so I signed up for like EVERYTHING. I'm afraid now that I have more than I can handle but I don't want to give up anything because I genuinely want to participate.

So since I've decided to stick with all my challenges and because there are SO many, I thought it would be good to create a masterlist to keep track of everything I signed up for and my progress in each.

2014 Reading Challenge

Annie has read 1 book toward her goal of 100 books.

Last year, I participated in the Goodreads Reading Challenge as well but I did not reach my goal of 100 nor did I actually record any of the books I read through Goodreads. I was a bit disappointed to see the lack of determination I had last year so I decided to do this again this year! I'm keeping my goal the same and so far, I've only read one book. I'm not sure how I'm going to reach my goal the more I think about it but fingers crossed. Hopefully, I manage to schedule my reading time better in 2014!

I mentioned this challenge in my 2014 goals. I have a huge list of series I need to finish so I thought that it would be a good idea for me to use this challenge as my motivation. I'm aiming at 5 books at the very minimum but I'm hoping to finish seven or eight. And maybe I might even get to 12 for a platinum badge!

I discovered this challenge after reading Asti's post on her 2014 challenges. At first, I didn't know if I wanted to sign up but then I realized how giant my TBR is and if I could knock off a few this year, that would be amazing! I'm really not sure how many I want to read so I'm just going to jot down a few books I'm interested in and see where it takes me!

I'm also participating in Anne and Kristilyn's bingo challenge. I like how it's less specific which offers me more leeway with what I read. Asti already did the calculation that you have to read 55 books to complete this so chances are likely I will not be finishing this. My goal is to have at least a few lines, like perhaps I, N and G.

This is the first Random House bingo card out of two. I discovered this from Chloe's site and thought it would be fun to participate. They're both quite different from the bingo challenges I've already signed up for so it'll be good for a change!

And last but not least, the commenting challenge!

This is actually Asti's own personal challenge but I thought I would do it too because it's a great idea and commenting more is one of my goals this year too! I'm actually not going to be posting my progress on this page. Instead, I'll be making a section for it in my Reflect & Rewind where I'll link to all the blogs I commented on that month and you can check them out too!

So that's a wrap! Those are all my challenges for this year. I know there are a LOT, especially with all the bingo ones but hopefully, I'll be able to make good progress. I figure as long as I'm reading, I can't be failing, right?

If you have any challenges that you're doing, tell me! I would love the support and we can totally be each other's cheerleaders!
