Royal Challenge 2016
She’s Got Books on her Mind hosted the Reading Road Trip Challenge 2015 and it was fun to play along with her so I decided to join her upcoming challenge which is to read books with a royal theme: books that center around anyone with a royal title, knights, castles, kingdoms, or heroic quests. I am signing up for Earl or Countess: 7-9 books.
Levels:
Knight: 1-3 books
Baron or Baroness: 4-6 books
Earl or Countess: 7-9 books
Duke or Duchess: 10-12 books
Prince or Princess: 13-15 books
King or Queen: 15+ books
Literary Loners Reading Challenge 2016
I was invited by the author of Whatever I Think Of! to join her new challenge and I am game! There are two options: characters or authors and I am choosing characters. She is not prescribing levels so I will see what the future holds and be more cognizant of identifying loners.
Option 1: character identified as a loner, outcast, recluse, wallflower, or introvert. This can be the main character (such as Bella from Twilight or Charlie from The Perks of Being a Wallflower) or a secondary one (such as Miss Havisham from Great Expectations or Boo Radley from To Kill a Mockingbird).
Retellings Reading Challenge 2016
This challenge is hosted by Once Upon a Bookcase. I have actually read several retellings lately and as I searched my TBR shelves I found that I have many in my library, so I am up for cleaning out some books and playing along. I am choosing the Medium: 5-8 retellings level.
The Challenge:
Easy: 1-4 retellings
Medium: 5-8 retellings
Hard: 9-12 retellings
Which Books Count:
You can read retellings of any of the following:
Classics & Children’s Classics, Fairy Tales, Myths and Legends, Folk Tales and prequels/sequels – I.E. Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige is a sequel series to The Wizard of Oz, and would count.
Thanks so much for joining. I’m also doing the Royal Reading and the Fairy Tales Retellings ones. Good luck in all your reading.
I’m glad you decided to join along with the Royal Challenge!
Just to let you know there is a giveaway going on for the Reading Road Trip Challenge 😀
