Can anyone please give an example of what book I could read? because I'm not sure I get it.
Ohh I'm so in ! This is an amazing challenge, "a lot I read books", so don't worry all my little patawans let this Jedi Master show you how to use the force to complete the challenge. Sheri, my friend I was an ewok for Halloween and just for you I might be able to email you a picture, so in a way... Long distance you do have an ewok. ( I also had a Himalayan cat named Nietzsche & he looked just like an ewok.. If you can't get to the forest moon of Endor ( or just Endor for those not in the B.I.A.) may bye u could adopt me.. In costume of course, or get a Himalayan cat? Oh btw when are we starting soulless? I didn't see any threads.
Anja wrote: "Can anyone please give an example of what book I could read? because I'm not sure I get it."Anja, you have to read a book for each letter of the word you choose. E.g. if you choose "Chewbacca", then you have to read 9 books in total - one that starts with each letter. You can usually use either the first or last name of the author or the title.
Sheri, if you have different "rules" for this challenge, feel free to correct me! ;)

Yep, it would be in the amount of $15 U.S.
Are audiobooks also acceptable? I was told on another group that they didn't count. I disagree, but want to be sure I'm clear on the rules for this challenge.Thanks

What a great idea for a challenge! I'm using the phrase "You have failed me for the last time" and I will update the book statuses as I read them. I've taken some liberties with the formatting of the titles because I like my letters to line up all in a row...29/29 Complete

Challenge #2 – Star Wars Challenge
This one is really just for me :) I love Star Wars so much, growing up I had a dog named Chewbacca (Chewy for short, of course). My one dream in life is to have my very own Ewok. So...for this challenge pick a word or phrase that has to do with Star Wars. Use the acronym to pick your books and spell that word.
Examples (Use one of these or pick your own):
Han Solo
Star Wars
Death Star
Lightsabre
Chewbacca
Darth Vader
Princess Leia
Stormtrooper
A New Hope
Luke Skywalker
You get the picture…
Everyone who participates in and completes at least 10 books for this challenge will get their name in the hat for a drawing for a $15 Amazon or B&N gift certificate (winner's choice) at the end of December!
To be entered into the drawing, you must let me know when you complete the challenge. There will be too many posts for me to go through them all looking for finished ones. Simply copy and paste your entire post into a new post at the end – or post a new message saying "I finished in thread #??."
Go ahead and post your books now, but do not start reading until January 1st.
Happy reading!
