I think I've gone challenge crazy this year--for books. As you know I do some food blogging too once in a while and there are a couple of meme's I like to participate in but I feel as if I can do those as I feel like it.
Right now tho, I am feeling like I can take on the world!
(it'll pass tho)
For the book challenges, a lot of them overlap, so I don't feel reading will be the problem--writing posts will be the problem, because I'll wait till the very last minute to do that. (sigh)
Okay! More book challenges!
I am going to join up with Jamie @ Whatever I think of! And her Literary Loners Reading Challenge 2016
There will be two options for this challenge and you may choose one or both. The first option is to read books featuring a character identified as a loner, outcast, recluse, wallflower, or introvert. This can be the main character (such as Bella from Twilight or Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower) or a secondary one (such as Miss Havisham from Great Expectations or Boo Radley from To Kill a Mockingbird). The second option will be to read works written by writers known to have been loners or recluses. The great poet Emily Dickinson was very much a loner as was author J.D. Salinger, and this link says the ancient Greek playwright Euripides was something of a loner. A biography of such writers may be read as well.

This next year I plan on reading a lot more non-fiction (November Nonfiction must have created a monster in me!) so why not join up with Angie @ Lady Knight Reads for her:
Angie says:
So I was talking to someone on Twitter. I don’t remember who because it was like a whole 24 hours ago and I’m basically senile in my old age, but it was basically about how I need to read more-nonfiction and since apparently challenges are a thing I’m doing next year, I decided to host a non-fiction one.
Check out the link for the 411!
It's pretty low key---just keep track of your non-fiction reads and writes posts in June and December.

Also joining Yvonne @ Socrates' Book Reviews for the

I do have to choose a level for this challenge
Level 1 - Snoop - Read at least 6 books
Level 2 - Investigator - Read 7-12 books
Level 3 - Super Sleuth - Read 13-20 books
Level 4 - Sleuth Extraordinaire - Read 21 or more books

Level 4 - Sleuth Extraordinaire - Read 21 or more books
And I'm choosing Level 1--SNOOP.
I'm looking forward to this one--especially right now, as it is snowing outside and a good cozy sounds--well, it sounds GOOD!

And last, but not LEAST I'm joining Books, Movies, Reviews! Oh My!
for their "Cloak and Dagger" challenge where I will aim for an amateur sleuth!
1-10 books – Amateur sleuth
11-20 books – Detective
21-30 books – Inspector
31+ books – Special agent
There will be a monthly link up with this one and pretty much any kind of mystery goes.
Again--- check out their page for the info.
This will do it for me!
Unless....
Foodie challenges!
Okay, so they are not really challenges, but rather weekly/monthly meme's or hops or whatever you want to call them.
I want to participate in
every month this year! It's once a month--you watch a movie, get inspired by something in the movie that moves you to the kitchen to whip up something wonderful!
And I would LOVE to keep up with I Heart Cooking Clubs.
It's a weekly link up....
This is a stress-free cooking club with a revolving roster of chefs. We feature two chefs (or cooks) a year.
And then there is Souper Sundays at Kahakai Kitchen!
Nothing better than a good pot of soup!
That's all for now!
Bring on 2016!
