And boxes, boxes everywhere. I'm packing and it sucks. After weeks of procrastinating it hit me that I'm moving to a new city in less than two weeks and I might want to actually pack or something. But now that I've reached the point where I need to do dishes or clean or do laundry in order to pack things I figure it's time to procrastinate again. I stopped and wondered what I was doing this time last year. A summer reading challenge of course! Unfortunately due to the move and various other factors I am not officially participating in any official challenges this summer.

Amanda, who was responsible for the challenge I took part in last summer, created another challenge for this summer. You can keep on what people are reading at the Summer Reading Challenge Blog.

Mysteries your thing? Reviewed by Liz has a Summer Mystery Reading Challenge. It started June 1 and is running until August 31. The blog is featuring a different mystery author everyday. It's a great opportunity to find new authors.

Maggie Reads started a Southern Reading Challenge. She wants to bring this genre to a whole new spectrum of readers.

Now you'll notice that these challenges are in progress. What's a reading blogger to do? Create your own challenge of course! That's what Get Lit did. Hmmm no buying books until she reads at least 5 on her shelf...good challenge. I would consider it but I have a very good reason for not buying books right now - I'd have to pack them.
