Challenge Rules
Please read, as some amendments have been made.

→ When you sign up for the challenge, please post some kind of a place saver so that I can link you up under the participants. Once you have decided on your books, just edit that post so that the link under the Participants List will go to your list!

→ When you finish reading a book, please edit your post and add the date completed.

→ Please make it clear which option you’ve chosen if there is more than one option listed under a task. If the task requires a specific cover, include the book cover.

→ You may only use each book for one task in this challenge, but feel free to use the same titles in other challenges!

→ When you complete the challenge, please copy and paste your entire, completed list as a brand new message to make it easier for everyone to see what you've read, and to have your name marked as "completed".

→ If you decide that you've bitten off more than you can chew, feel free to let me know you'd like to downgrade, or even back out of the challenge. Please do not delete the post. It will mess up the links to other participants' postings if you do.

I want to join in. Problem is all my 'scary' books for the year are done!

The closest title I have scheduled is the newest MJD UnDEAD book. It does have vampires in it...

Depending on how my other books come along I may try to squeeze in for easy, but I cannot commit to anything yet.

Quick question, how to do you put in a place holder? Do you just put in like a "Reserve" spot in a comment or something?

Thanks!

Haha! You can use any of the multiple words... ie..

After last month's epic fail, I'm going with the medium level - pick 4 words and will pop back later with my choices!

1. Witch - Witches of East End FINISHED October 24th
2. Devil - Devil's Daughter FINISHED October 30th
3. Wicked -
4. Shadow -

Keep your fingers crossed that I actually read more than 2 books this month!

READ 2/4


I SUCKED again this month. Would help if I could read for more than 10 mins before falling asleep though regardless of the time of day!

Question - do the books have to be stricktly PNR? I was thinking of re-reading . There is kind of some romance in it, but probably more Horror category than PNR.

1. Doll Bones 10/13

4. (moon) Dark Awakening 10/8

This may be a silly question, but if we finish our original challenge books? If there's still time left in the month,can we participate again?

Like if we started easy can we participate again and do the medium or hard levels? Didn't see anything that mentioned something like this in the rules.

Hi Randi:
Sorry for the late response! The books do not have to be strictly PNR, you may also do UF or anything SCI-FI or Horror... just try to keep a basic theme of "otherworldy" or "fantasy".

Thanks!

Hi Gabrielle!
Sorry for the late response! You may absolutely upgrade your challenge! Keep your same post, and just edit your level and add your extra books. You can just post a separate comment, to let me know you've upgraded, so I can change your participant post level!

Thanks!

Hi everyone! Sorry I've been late in responding to reader questions! I've been moving, and it's taking up all of my time! I should be able to respond quickly from here on out!

How is everyone coming along in their challenges!?

Thanks Ashley!

Just moved? Wow, I did that recently and even with the best movers/packers its still traumatizing! Best of luck in getting things back to normal.

I'm totally not done! HAH! But, it'll all be ok soon! ;)

Awesome thanks, I kind of figure it would be ok to upgrade I just wanted to make sure that I had the details so if I upgraded my challenge then I would do everything correctly.

Haven't had to move recently but I know how irritating it can be, good luck!

Okay, I have to put aside and sub with something else. This book is so boring and so slow moving.

Ashley, may I change from Easy to Read-a-Holic?

I found more books that meet the criteria. If not, that's fine. I'm enjoying reading anyway.

Hey Ashley, I'm having a hard time getting through the book I chose to read for the werewolf category of my challenge so I'd like to read in place of .

I hope that's alright,thanks!

Hi everyone! You can make any changes you'd like to your books and difficulty. You don't need permission! If you're changing your difficulty level just let me know so I can update your participation post. I've got your change MadameZelda.
