Get Steampunked! Challenge I am doing the lowest level “Geared” where I read 5 steampunk books this year. You can find out more about the challenge at Dutchie’s challenge blog.
The Dystopia Challenge Again, I am doing the lowest level - “Asocial” and committing to read 5 dystopian books this year. I will probably read more, but I don’t want to overtax myself. You can find out more about this challenge here.
The Stephen King Challenge I am going to give this one a go. I've read a few of his books in the past but I am trying to spread my reading wings again and head out into different genres. I loved Talisman and Nightshift and have read a handful of others. I am aiming to read 6 Stephen King books this year. You can find out more at Book City Chick.
I am also attending two book clubs again this year. One is the Paranormal Romance book club at Galaxy, and the other is a general book club in Sutherland. I had discussions with an online friend about maybe starting a speculative fiction book club, but I don’t know if we’ll go ahead with that or not. I am planning on attending ARRC for the first time this year, although I still have to scrape up the money to buy my admission. Last year I sat by twitter and my phone hearing all about it. This year I wish to be in the midst of the action! ;-p Anyone want to help me rob a bank???
Anyway, I don’t want to make this too long. I just want to say that I have really missed blogging, I've missed hearing about all the gossip in the reader’s world, and I have millions of blogs to catch up on… I am planning on writing more reviews this year, and to be a better blogger. It is a New Year’s resolution after all :)
*Because it is nearly eleven o'clock and I am getting hungry. I may also be quietly wishing I will be reincarnated as a hobbit in my next life.

I'll go halves in proceeds from robbing a bank. I did have my money for ARRC sitting there ready to go but then had to spend $1000 on my car. Hotel room is booked, but not registration or flights.
Do you have your own ski mask? I want a purple stripy one. I may have to learn how to knit first.
I was going to have enough, but then I got stranded in Queensland and missed 4 days of work. Luckily I live local, so I don't need to worry about registration - and I can worry about transport closer to the date. I realised for the cost of going I could have taken a return trip up to visit my parents. Luckily I just spent two weeks there so I don't feel too guilty using the money for a book-related event LOL I guess I'll see you there! :)
