I'm on the verge of overcommitting. T'was ever thus. Everything seems so doable at the start of the year. I have two nonfiction challenges that appeal, but I think in combination they could take over and be a terrible slog. I also need to come up with a good fiction challenge, to have a lighter alternative.

I typically set a goal of 12 books for a specific nonfiction challenge; I'm toying with the idea of doing both challenges but setting it at nine books. That would let me take July and August off (I never get substantive reading done in the summer -- see, I do learn!) and keep December free for the same reason, but it would also create a little slack for catchup at the end of the year if necessary.

Fiction? I haven't an idea yet. This year's fiction doorstop challenge was a colossal failure.
