The TBR Double Dare

I read this article about Reading Challenges for 2012 & decided I want to do this.  This year I did the Goodreads 2011 Reading Challenge, but I did not start it in January.  I am not sure when I started it.  I set my reading goal for 30 & I read 33 books, but this year is not over just yet.  I could read 1 more book before Saturday, but I doubt that.  It is possible.       

The first Reading Challenge I chose is TBR Double Dare.  I can do this.  You only read the books on your To Be Read List from January 1, 2012 to April 1, 2012.  I can so do this.  I have a lot I want to read.  I will be listing the ones I really want to read.  I think if I do this then it will be easier for me later on.  I am going through Goodreads.  I love this website.  You can keep track of what you read, but also see what your friends have read or wants to read.  Then, you can add it, too!

Ok, for this Challenge, what you need to do is: (This is from the link)

1. Click on the TBR Double Dare Link Above

2. Of course, you are free to set your own rules if you like.  If you know you have a book club book coming up, or that a certain author has a book coming out, you can allow for exceptions. It's all for fun.  

3. To enter just leave a link to your blog in a comment at the link above not here (If you don't have a blog but would still like to participate, just leave a comment without a link.---not here)  In your comment, make a pledge stating how long or how many books you think you can last.  Pledge to read one book, read for one day or one week, one month, whatever you like.  The full challenge runs until April 1, April Fool's Day. 

4. Post one of the buttons on your blog as well if you like.  Please link back to the link above to help spread the word.   

I am not sure how many books I will be reading, but I did make up a list from my Goodreads To Be Read list.   I would like to read half of this list at least or more.  It does not have to be read in this order.
