2015 challenges

I promised myself a few months ago that I wouldn't join too many challenges in 2015, but I already have two that I'm taking part in and it's bound to get worse from here on out. As long as the challenges don't force me to deviate from my two 2015 goals (conquer the TBR mountain, and whittle down my review copies) I figure I'm good to join.

Here are the challenges I plan to do in 2015:

The Daily Prophecy
The challenge runs from January 1st – December 31st 2015.


The goal is to read fairytale retellings, but if you want you can also pick other retellings. It’s up to you what you count as a fairytale. Here are a couple of books you can pick from: 
my bookshelf with fairytale retellings and Fairytale lists on Listopia. You can read Middle Grade, Young Adult and Adult books for this challenge. 



There are 6 different levels you can aim for:


-Prince Charming: 1 – 4 books.

-Magic mirror: 5 - 9 books.

-Big bad wolf: 10 – 15 books.

-The wise princess: 16 – 20 books.

-Wicked fairy Godmother: 21 – 25 books.

-Bluebeard:
 you are killing it! 26+ books.


Going on the fairy tale books I read this year (5) this is the level for me. I'm aiming for 9 in 2015!

Monthly Key Word Challenge 2015



Rules:
The title you choose can be a variation on one of the key words. For example- your title could include the word 'snowing' or 'snowflake' even though the key word is 'snow.'

Key words can be tweaked. For example- You could read "Cinder" or "Ashes" for the key word 'Fire' and that would be just fine. If the key word is 'family' then your title could include the word 'sister' or 'mother.'If the key word is 'food' then your title could include the word 'cake.'
