I was slightly ahead of schedule on my 10 challenges, having passed the half-way point in just 5 months. As a reward for all my hard work, I decided to join 2 more.

I've signed up for Pick'n'Mix, which I'm planning to treat as a List version of the 12 Awards challenge - ie. 12 books from 12 different Lists - and Fantasia, which is really just an excuse for me to read some fantasy and still get to count it somewhere. I'm only counting epic/heroic/sword-and-sorcery style fantasy, the kind which used to make up quite a lot of my reading but which has been on the backburner while I've been doing challenges for the last couple of years. It ought to be set in a secondary world, with mediaeval technology and where it is possible for your day job to be "wizard".

I'm hoping the Pick'n'Mix will be more-or-less free, based on the books I was already planning to read, and the Fantasia challenge will not add too many. My previous excursions off-list have largely been books that would fit Fantasia. I need to do some work on my spreadsheet, though.
