13X13 in 2013 Challenge (114/169)

I finished my 12X12 Challenge and it was great fun, so of course I have to try to do even better in 2013, so this year I'm doing a 13X13 Challenge.  I made the categories even broader (hence, no Highlander category this year), but not so broad as to be meaningless.  I also decided since I've been reading more short stories and novellas lately, I should set up some guidelines regarding page length.  I decided to only count books over 100 pages in my main categories and set up a separate category for short stories/novellas (the 13th category) for those less than 100 pages.  Guidelines make me happy. :)

I had so much fun coming up with my categories and decided to find a TV show appropriate for each one.

2013 Categories:

  1. Downton Abbey (Historical Romance) - 13/13 DONE!
  2. Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Paranormal Romance) - 6/13
  3. Xena: Warrior Princess (Books Kick-Ass Chicks/UF) - 6/13
  4. Mystery! (Mystery and Romantic Suspense) - 13/13 DONE!
  5. Days of Our Lives (Contemporary Romance) - 9/13
  6. The New Girl (New to Me Authors) - 11/13
  7. Glee (Anticipated Books/New in 2012) - 6/13
  8. The "Pilot" Episode (1st in Series) - 13/13 DONE!
  9. Episodes (Next in Series) - 12/13
  10. 60 Minutes (Non-Fiction) - 5/13
  11. Double Dare (Recommendations/Misc.) - 2/13
  12. Antiques Roadshow (Books on the TBR > 6 mos) - 3/13
  13. Short Attention Span Theater (Short Stories/Novellas) - 15/13 DONE!
