Taking the plunge

July 8, 2008 by Sue 1 Comment

I wrote recently that I had been introduced to reading challenges but was nervous to sign up for one so I created my own.  I’ve had so much fun working on it, that I have decided to go for it and sign on for a real challenge.  Some of the books in my own challenge will cross over, so I feel confident that I can do it.  It’s called Book Awards II and here are the rules.

 

  1. Read 10 award winners from August 1, 2008 through June 1, 2009.
  2. You must have at least FIVE different awards in your ten titles.
  3. Overlaps with other challenges are permitted.
  4. You don’t have to post your choices right away, and your list can change at any time.
  5. ‘Award winners’ is loosely defined; make the challenge fit your needs, keeping in mind Rule #2.
  6. SIGN UP using Mr. Linky below.
  7. Have fun reading!
