2014 Challenges

This page serves to track my progress for the reading challenges that I decided to participate in for 2014. I signed up for the Goodreads reading challenge and a couple of other challenges hosted by other bloggers. At the same time, I set a few personal goals that I want to achieve.

The official challenges I’m participating in are the Goodreads Reading Challenge, the Standalone Reading Challenge, the Rewind Challenge and the Series Challenge.

For personal challenges, I’ve decided to set goals for non-fiction, adult fiction, classics and German books.
