I've been gone a while. I started reading fanfiction to escape and I got sucked in an abyss.
I have no idea if someone else is hosting similar challenges. I just grabbed some of what I have hosted before.
Here's to a happy year of great reading
Jan2023: Not much has changed. Writing a fanfiction now O_o as well as reading but I bought 7 new books in December and hope to get those read soon. Crossing fingers about adding challenges (late!)
Molly at
My Cozy Book Nook is hosting the
Summer Vacation Reading Challenge. Challenge runs from May 22 to September 7 (Memorial Day weekend to Labor Day weekend). There are two different levels of participation and I'm going for Globe Trotter. I still need to finish my list but Beach Bum was way too easy!
Globe Trotter: you will commit to reading 6 pre-selected books during this time frame, but you may substitute up to 3 books due to changes in travel plans. Cross-overs for 5 out of the 6 books are allowed, but ideally one book will be read for this challenge alone.
Molly has rules and a Mr. Linky sign-up plus other info you'll need for the challenge.
Q: two of my challenges are
100+ books and
Pages Read, does "one book will be read for this challenge alone" mean I can't count them?
Original List
1.
Firefly Lane (Seattle)2.
Summer on Blossom Street (Seattle) ~ reviewed3.
Magic Strikes (alternate Atlanta) ~ reviewed4.
The Time Traveler's Wife (time travel?)5. A Nose for Murder
(Camden, Maine) - this challenge only?
6. Too Rich and Too Dead
(Aspen, Colorado)
Changes:
1.
The Cat Who Went into the Closet ("Pickax City", Michigan)
2. The Trouble with Magic (Stony Mills, Indiana)
And just for the heck of it:
1. The Judge Who Stole Christmas (Possum, Virginia)2. Island of the Blue Dolphins (San Nicolas Island, California)
Not bad, four from my original list. I never did purchase A Nose for Murder or Too Rich and Too Dead and my library system doesn't have them. I had a good time finding books for this challenge. I felt rushed but only because I joined late. Next year I'll start looking for it. I'm sure going to Hogwarts will count ;-)
I may never complete this challenge even though I've finished reading the books. Molly wants us to REVIEW the books {head bang}{head bang}{head bang}
