It’s that time of the year again! I love signing up for reading challenges (though, I admit, I’m not so great at finishing them!). Is it just me or are there not as many challenges out this year? Hmmm….
The TBR Triple Dog Dare
For the first three months of 2016 read only the books that were already in your TBR stack as of midnight December 31, 2015. Sign up here.
I think this is SUCH a cool challenge. I participated in it back in 2014 (I think?) and really liked how it pushed me to read my TBR pile. Since it is only a 3 month challenge, it is much more manageable. Sad to hear this is its last year though!
The Goodreads Challenge
I’ll be shooting for 75 books again. I never make these but HEY. MAYBE 2016 will be THE YEAR.
The Graphic Novel/Manga Challenge
The Challenge? To read graphic novels, collected trade editions, manga, comic strip collections, comic books. In print or digital. Sign up here.
Level? Bronze Age: read and review 24 books during the year
I kinda completed this challenge in 2015, in the sense that I READ over 24 books… but didn’t review them! Am planning to rectify that in 2016!
For 2016, I’m also going to keep track of all my readathons and mini-challenges on this page!
Bout of Books 15
The Bout of Books read-a-thon is organized by Amanda @ On a Book Bender and Kelly @ Reading the Paranormal. It is a week long read-a-thon that begins 12:01am Monday, January 4th and runs through Sunday, January 10th in whatever time zone you are in. Bout of Books is low-pressure. There are challenges, giveaways, and a grand prize, but all of these are completely optional. For all Bout of Books 15 information and updates, be sure to visit the Bout of Books blog.
This will be my second? third? Bout of Books readathon! I’m love these week-long events as it gives me a lot more breathing space to reeeeeead.

Thanks Nicola! Looking forward to actually reviewing a few books this year 😉

Welcome to The Dare. I hope you have fun with it again this year.
Thanks James! I admit I did some last minute shopping at the end of the month to fit with this challenge 😉 Should be tough but fun!

I love signing up for challenges as well! I’m horrible at completing them though. Hopefully this year I’ll at least finish one or two successfully.
And I agree, I think there are less challenges out there this year. It seemed like there were a ton last year.
Good luck with all your goals!

Exactly! Glad you’ve noticed the same, Sam! Total challenge shortage this year….
I also love signing up for challenges, but rarely complete them. I’ve tried to avoid the ones I KNOW I will fail (i.e. the A-Z challenge or the theme reading challenge). I saw you signed up for the Finish-the-series challenge…. maybe I should join that as I have a lot left uncompleted!
