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