This is one of the best things about book blogging: reading challenges. I think I've kept things under control this year with sign ups. And now, I may have spoken too soon. Without further ado, here's what I'll attempt to complete for 2011...
I'm super excited that S. Krishna brought this challenge back and looks to be a permanent fixture. I "discovered" Sri Lankan author, Romesh Gunesekera by participating in this challenge.This challenge focuses on Sri Lanka, India, Pakistan, Nepal, Maldives, Bhutan, and Bangladesh. I'm at it again and plan to be a South Asian Explorer reading at least five books. The deets are here.
This one is my self-hosted challenge. Participants will read fiction by Black authors that's atypical of the Black experience usually portrayed in literature.
I will, of course, tackle the highest level of 5+ reads for this challenge. Check out the deets here and a growing book list here.

The GLBT challenge is back (thanks to Amanda and Jen) and I'm planning to read at least three books. I'm thinking I'll finally read some Jude Dibia this year for this one. The deets are here.
Reads4Pleasure is hosting her first reading challenge and it's a good one. I don't read a lot of chick lit anymore because it's been difficult finding good chick lit by Black authors. Well, she's got that covered and more of our sisters of color. Get the deets here. I'm going for the Novice level of 4 to 7 reads.
Naturally, I'm participating in the POC Reading Challenge again. This is what BGBS is about. I'm participating at level five: 16 to 25 books. Here are the deets.
And last but not least, the Southeast Asia challenge is a last minute discovery. This challenge focuses on countries like China, Japan, Singapore, Thailand, and Philippines among others. There's simply a minimum of three books required which I'm certain I'll read and then some. Get the deets here.
