The I Haven't Reached My Reading Challenge Goals Yet! Read-a-thon Starting Line

This read-a-thon is hosted by Debz at Debz Bookshelf. The goal is to read books for the book challenges of 2013. I don't even know where to start. I have two books still to read for the Paranormal Challenge, my demon and zombie books. I need to read three new authors to reach my goal of 15 authors for the New Author challenge. I only need one more book for the Dusty Bookshelf Challenge and like 14 more books for a coverall on the Book Bingo Challenge. So just a little reading left. ;)

My reading stack from which I will choose books this week:

Wanderlove by Kirsten Hubbard- New Author and Book Bingo Challenge/ everyone else has read
The Alchemyst by Michael Scott- Book Bingo/ reread
Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen- Book Bingo/ everybody else
Along for the Ride by Sarah Dessen- New Author and Book Bingo/ everybody else
Splintered by A.G. Howard-New Author and Book Bingo/series
Champion by Marie Lu-Book Bingo/series
Looking for Alaska by John Green-Dusty Bookshelf and Book Bingo/everybody else
The Forest of Hands and Teeth by Carrie Ryan-New Author, Paranormal/Zombies and Book Bingo/ everybody else
Don't Judge a Girl by her Cover by Ally Carter- Book Bingo/ TBR
The Calling by Kelley Armstrong- Book Bingo/TBR
Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare- Paranormal/ Demons

Now all I have to do is choose a book to start reading. I hope to finish two books this week and I would love to complete one of these challenges. Have you read any of these or any that you recommend I start right away? Good luck to everyone!

2013 Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge

This reading challenge is hosted by Michelle @ True Book Addict on the Christmas Spirit Blog. The goal is to read Christmas themed books and there are different categories. You can sign up at this link.
I am trying for the Mistletoe category of 2-4 books. I know Mrs. Miracle will be one of the books and I haven't decide yet on any others. If I like Debbie Macomber, I may read another one of her books for the challenge. I am also going to do the Fa La La La Films, because my husband loves Christmas movies and we will be watching a bunch of them, starting with Miracle on 34th Street, which we watch Thanksgiving night. Thanks to Michelle for hosting!

Books read:
Mrs. Miracle by Debbie Macomber

Movies:
Miracle on 34th Street

I also need to post a signup post for the Christmas Spirit Reading Challenge, which I can hopefully do tomorrow, since I work a 10 hour day today and will not have any time. Thanks to Michelle for hosting!

Monster Read-a-thon and Review-a-thon Wrapup

I managed to review 3 books and realized I actually had reviewed Dirty Little Secrets the first time I read it, so I reviewed all my backlogged books! I read 699 pages and finished Unstoppable and Dirty Little Secrets. I also managed to finish Midnight in Austenland shortly after the end of the read-a-thon, so I reviewed Shelter, Midnight in Austenland, and Unstoppable. I should be ready for my booktalks on Monday! Thanks to The Book Monsters for hosting!
