I am trying to figure out some dozens that will work for next year. I am hoping I can do better next year. I want to combine other challenges I am doing in this and other groups to help me not get overwhelmed. I have a few ideas:
12 Books Published in 2012
12 Dragon/Dragon Shifter Books
12 First in Series
12 from series already started
12 ebook freebies/cheapies (like 1-3 dollars)
12 library discards... believe me I have enough of these to do this category for at least 3 years.
12 Stand Alones
12 Banned Books
12 Public Domain Books
12 Books by Male Authors
12 Books published before 2000
12 (insert creature here) books
12 Books from challenges I didn't finish last year
I may just come up with categories and pick whichever I think work best for me and have others do the same or create their own. I like the customization for this challenge. The freedom to read what you want or what you need for other challenges or to get you to read books on your shelves or ereaders.
WTG, Sandy, only 4 left. :)

Still got a few books to finish up this challenge, hoping I'll get to it. If not, love your idea for one of the dozen:
12 Books from challenges I didn't finish last year
Especially since I've got a handful of challenges I probably won't finish. Then if another year passes and I don't read those books, I can cross them off my list FOREVER!!

Yay Wan! I'm 31% done with my final book. It's interesting but not sure I'll have the time to finish it today. Very fun challenge though :)
Thanks for the encouragement, just not enough time to sit and read, but that's okay. 59/60 will have to do. I'll finish the book this week, so not a big deal :)
