eBooks Reading Challenge 2017

Hosted at Book Dragon's Lair!

I'm a HUGE fan of ebooks and as Annette wasn't able to do the challenge this year, she let me have it! Thanks Annette, for letting me take over.

There are a couple of hard rules, one just for general courtesy, several guidelines and six levels.




Hard Rules
All books counted must be electronic - I don't care if they're kindle, pdf, nook, etc.
The ebook in question must have an ISBN or equivalent. If you can buy it or borrow it, it counts - which just means that all those on-line serials I read don't count ;-)

General Courtesy
When you sign up in the linky, put the direct link to your post. That way we can find it.

Guidelines
You can list your books in advance or as you read them. You can also change your list.
Any genre or length of book counts.
Anyone can join, you don’t need to be a blogger, just let me know in the comments.
Reviews are good but not necessary. Once again, you don't need to be a blogger, there are lots of places to post reviews. Hopefully, they'll link up so we can read them.
You may move up a level but not down.
Crossovers for other challenges count
Books started before January 1st, 2017 don’t count - unless you start over ;-)

Levels
bit – 1 book
Byte – 10 books
Megabyte – 25 books
Gigabyte – 50 books
Terabyte – 75 books
Petabyte – 100 books
Empty the Cloud - 101+ books
. . . yeah, this look good.

Think I look at doing Megabyte - 25 books

Audio Books Reading Challenge 2017

Hosted here at Book Dragon's Lair!

edit: I'm not a huge fan of audio books but I've got several that need to be listened too. Plus I saw that people were asking for, but not finding one. Here you go!

There are a couple of hard rules, one just for general courtesy, several guidelines and six levels.



Hard Rules
All books counted must be audio!
The audio book in question must have an ISBN or equivalent.

General Courtesy
When you sign up in the linky, put the direct link to your post. That way we can find it.

Guidelines
You can list your books in advance or as you read them. You can also change your list.
Any genre or length of book counts, as long as it is in audio format.
Anyone can join, you don’t need to be a blogger, just let me know in the comments.
Reviews are good but not necessary. Once again, you don't need to be a blogger, there are lots of places to post reviews. Hopefully, they'll link up so we can read them.
You may move up a level but not down.

Pages Read 2017

Sponsored by Book Dragon's Lair

How many pages can you read this year?

This challenge isn't about how many books you read but rather how many pages. After all, it isn't fair that I might read 4 titles and another might read 2 titles but we've read the same number of pages!

I'll work on getting a html code for the challenge button.


Levels
Bonsai - Read 12,000 pages
Shrub - Read 24,000 pages
Dwarf Peach - Read 36,000 pages
Apple Tree - Read 48,000 pages
Oak - Read 60,000 pages
Douglas Fir - Read 72,000 pages
Sequoia - Read 84,000 pages
Redwood - Read 84,001+ pages

I think I'll go for a Bonsai 12,000 - just need to read some bigger books this year.

1 Princess Lemonella by Saarein de Brake (32/12,000)
2 All In A Day by Cynthia Rylant (64/12,000)
3 Candy is Magic by Jami Curl (352/12,000)
