In the past, I've signed up for several, enjoying the process of finding the books in my stacks to add to the list, posting the pretty button in my sidebar, feeling fresh and excited about a new year of reading. And then, like you said, it begins to feel like a chore. I'm not reading nearly as much as I used to, so if I'm only going to have a chance to read 3-5 books each month (and one is for my face-to-face book club), I really want to pick up what I'm inspired to read at that time when I finish each book. This will be my second year of just saying no to reading challenges! :) There are so many tempting challenges out in the blogosphere, aren’t there?
