It has come to my attention recently that there are roughly eleventy billion fantasy books out there that I have not read. To combat this, I’ve decided to create a reading challenge, because I always do better when I hold myself accountable. So, who wants to join me?
the fantasy reading challenge will run from January 1st, 2012 – December 31st, 2012. Sign up begins today and lasts until February 1st, 2012.
If science fiction is more to your tastes, I will also be doing a sci-fi challenge. Details will be posted tomorrow.

I’m going to try for the Brother’s Grimm level; 50 books. I might shoot for Dragonrider.
What level are you going for? Do you have any great fantasy suggestions?

I think I’ll join in. I’m already on a quest to read the most popular and influential fantasy from the beginning of the modern fantasy genre to today. This will fit right in. But I think I’ll only shoot for Brothers Grimm. I’m still trying to do more writing than reading. 😉
Yay!
that’s my goal too. there are so many popular fantasy books out there that I have not read, and every time I see one, I think “How have I not read you yet?”
“Eleventy billion fantasy books”? The last time I check, the numbers were in the magicillions. Guess I better join. I’m opting for Brother Grimm, but will probably end up as a Curse Breaker. We’ll see.
Grabbing the button (you’ll find it at Magaly’s Blog Circle, in m scroll box). I’ll blog about it soon 😉
Welcome! *Presents plate of cookies*
In the magicillions? *falls over*. Where is a time-turner when I need one?
My point exactly 🙂

I will be doing the Wizard level 🙂
I’ll read 50 fantasy books. 🙂 My book blog is http://saritaslibrary.blogspot.com/.
I found you via Magaly over at Pagan Culture, by the way.
I’ll join in.
Yay! What level are you going to shoot for?
Dernit. My sign-up post went up earlier.. really should have signed up for a fantasy challenge! If I do, I’ll go for elf, but not sure…
This is an awesome challenge! I love me some fantasy books. 🙂 I’m shooting for Wizard level. Here’s my blog link in case it didn’t go through: http://nicole-singer.blogspot.com/.
Thanks for organizing this!
This sounds fun! But I’ll play safe for now and just say Hobbit level.
I love fantasy but never make enough time to read, I’m going for a realistic Elf level but I could (and hopefully will) end up reading more 🙂
Hello Im going for the Brother Grimm Level Cant wait to start. Thanks for doing this
I’m in. I linked up, but just in case…
http://morgainependragon.blogspot.com/2012/01/reading-challenges-because-i-dont-have.html
I am shooting for Brothers Grim, might even make it to Dragonrider…
Oh shoot… I just found this one today… Guess I’m too late…
I have made an executive decision (i always wanted to say that), and decided you can still join. After all, there are still 10 months left. Plenty of time 🙂
Oh yay! Here is my Reading Challenges page: http://multifacetedexperience.blogspot.com/p/2012-reading-challenges.html
Thanks so much!
I know it’s past the sign up date, but I want to do the challenge anyways, along with a couple other reading challenges LOL. I have linked back to this page as well 🙂 I will try for Brothers Grimm, though I hope to read more than that.
Welcome!
I mentioned on one of the A-Z posts about if it was possible for me to do the challenge unofficially maybe? I love fantasy so it would be great to make me read alot more than I usually do! I’ll link back to here from my sidebar if that’s ok. I’ve already read 10 fantasy books this year so I’ll aim for Wizard level or something between that and Brothers Grimm. I have alot of Terry Pratchett books to read and I want to start Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series too!
Yes! You can definitely join unofficially! 😀
AHA!!
It has taken me since the 11th Feb to find this challenge again after finding it originally and deciding against it but I did it! Yay! Hello!
Hobbit I can do. Elf might be a struggle so I’ll go for Elf and stick it on my challenges page. *dances* Getting back to fantasy as soon as I can so this will be a great challenge for me.
I’m glad you finally found me!
