Did you see?

I take my job of being a cohost very serious, I have a huge responsibility to my fellow addicts to let them know that there are .....are you sitting down?....I'll wait......hurry up a bit....I'm supposed to be at a Read-A-Thon....that's how serious I take my job.......ok...you all settled now?   ok....where was I......yes that I take this serious..
No..that wasn' it..I already said that....senior moment alert....oh I remember now......There are NEW CHALLENGES posted......Yes...I swear it's a conspiracy.  But I thought I needed to share this new information, especially since, I have my eye on one of them and don't want to be the only one signing up so I thought I would bring a few of you down with me   lol.    Some are year long, some mini ones, which is the one I should be doing now.  And since I believe in sharing, you can check them out here:  A Novel Challenge   I'm thinking I will sign up for the Dewey Read-A-Thon but right after I post this I have to get into the recliner and read because I signed up for the Winter Respite Read-A-Thon.  So my bloggy addicts, have you slipped a few more challenges in without telling us....come on... spill it.   lol

  3. Just to help you out with those serious duties...There's another challenge that just popped up on my Blogger Dashboard: 2011 Baker Street Reading Challenge (http://bakerstreetchallenge.blogspot.com/2011/01/sign-up-for-2011-challenge.html). I love all things Holmes...can somebody please come stuff earplugs in my ears so I'll stop hearing the siren song of this one? I DO NOT need another challenge. Seriously.

  4. Oh and in case I haven't mentioned it...I've added a few and am now up to 18 (19 if we're counting the Addict Challenge). Like I said, I do NOT need the Baker Street Challenge. That's my little mantra. "I do not need the Baker Street Challenge. I do not need the Baker Street Challenge. I do not..."
