I always join in for Carl's challenges. I might suck at participating much, especially this year, but I have never officially missed one. I love science-fiction and really should read more of it. We will see how that goes...
I have no particular titles in mind, but I would like to read John Scalzi, James S.A. Corey, and maybe some of the Star Trek series I have kicking around.
There are not really any rules for this challenge, but you can read more about it at Carl's blog where he posted about it. The challenge runs from December 1, 2013 to January 31, 2014.
Then I casually participated in the Thankfully Reading Weekend. I didn't have time to just read and nothing else, but that's life. I didn't start reading until Thursday evening. I originally planned to start with listening to more of Stiff by Mary Roach, but my iPod updated and shut off to do so. Then I had some humming and hawing to do because I wasn't sure if I wanted to read something I had all ready started or just start from scratch. I wound up starting Exit Strategy by Kelley Armstrong. I haven't had much luck with reading lately so I thought a clean slate was in order. So, up until Sunday morning I alternated between Exit Strategy and listening to Stiff. I finished Exit Strategy so that is one thing. Sunday I started The Diviners by Libba Bray and am enjoying it so far. Not really a reading weekend, but at least I got some in.

Thankfully Reading Weekend 2013
The Thankfully Reading Weekend is hosted by Jenn at Jenn's Bookshelves and Jennifer from Literate Housewife. It runs from November 29 to December 1, 2013.
If you are interested in signing up, the sign up post is on Jenn's Blog.
I haven't done very much in the way of challenges or blogging events this year. I might even fail at doing this one; but I am going to attempt to find my reading mojo this weekend and at least read a bit. I was hoping that having all my books unpacked and in one place would help with the slow reading year; but there just always seems to be one more thing to do. I am looking forward to things calming down and me getting a chance to get back to things I enjoy. Wish me luck!

Thankfully Reading Weekend 2012
I was thinking this was the perfect way to get some actual reading in this weekend. Joining in on the Thankfully Reading Weekend. I didn't have a lot of time to start yesterday, but it would be nice to read the next three days.
If I were to accomplish this, some of the things I am thinking of reading are:
Finish Farthing by Jo Walton
Fatale - Book 1: Death Chases Me by Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips (Graphic Novel)
The Unwritten - Volume 6: Tommy Taylor and the War of Words by Mike Carey (Graphic Novel)
Saga - Volume 1 by Brian K. Vaughan and Fiona Staples (Graphic Novel)
Catch up on my Fairest comics
Start Punk Rock Jesus by Sean Murphy
Then, if I manage to accomplish that, the sky is the limit.
What are your reading plans for the weekend?
