The different Challenge Levels are:
Tempted — Choose 5 books to read
Trying — Choose 15 books to read
Making A Dint — Choose 30 books to read
On A Roll — Choose 50 books to read
Flying Off — Choose 75 books to read
Hoarder — Choose 76-125 books to read
Buried — Choose 126-200 books to read
These are the books I culled from my TBR mountain and read in 2013. Like the 10-10 Challenge, I didn't succeed in meeting this goal, in fact, I got only halfway there.
