Pondering Challenges

With the alphabet challenge drawing to a close (I’m working on C), I needed a new challenge for 2013. I was torn between two options:

Option 1) Read from Home I own so many books I’m out of places to keep them and I haven’t read most of them. The best solution is to only read what I own with the occasionally library loan. Any books I purchase or deliberately obtain for free (gifts don’t count) must be confessed on here. I could also stand to spend less money so that would be an added bonus.

Option 2) 42 Book Challenge A few years back, I attempted to read 42 books in a year each for a specific category. My social life picked up so that I couldn’t complete it. I also had categories that sounded good at the time but ended up just feeling burdensome. It stopped being fun and started being work.

I love the idea of reading from home since I need to get to know my collection again. There’s also books I’ve been dying to reread but have put off because I was doing other challenges. 

If I stick with option 2, I wonder if reading from home and posting random reviews will be enough. It would be nice to read without pressure but if the book is doing its job, I shouldn’t feel pressured.
