12 New in 2011 Challenge
For Play Book Tag, I will be reading a book a month published in 2011; preferably in the month that it is published! This is my attempt to actually have read at least some of the books that end up on the "Best Of" lists at the end of the year.
11 in 11 Challenge
The stated rules of this challenge are to read 11 books in each of 11 categories in 2011 - that is 121 books just for this challenge! I am not willing to commit that much to one challenge so I am modifying it a bit: I am going to attempt to read at least 5 books in each of 11 categories during 2011. That is still 55 books but I am going to give it my best :)
I have a couple of books in mind for some of the categories but they haven't been read until they are linked to a review.

Science Book Challenge 2011
I am once again participating in the Science Book Challenge! My goal this year is to read 5 science books, which will also be cross-posted to the "science" category of my 11 in 11 challenge. I have a couple of books in mind but, in general, will be reading whatever strikes my fancy :)
