2- Complete a series that has at least 3 books in it

4- Read and then watch a book- film adaptation BUT Harry Potter and The Lord of The Rings don't count!.
5- Re-read your favourite fantasy book OR re-read a fantasy book you haven't read in a long time

7- Read a fantasy short story

Is it ok to count books for more than one challenge? I probably won't get to it, but my favorite fantasy book is 1000+pages, so if I did, that could count for two of them.

Not sure I'll be able to complete much, but this will be a lot of fun! And hopefully I can fix my video issues and start posting again before it starts. :)

Most definitely! :) I will be combining as many challenges together as I can, considering I'm trying for Nanowrimo at the same time. Good luck, so happy you are joining in! Remember to post your vids in the group so I can find them if you manage to get everything working :)

Excellent!

And good luck with Nano, I don't think I'll be doing it this year (not completely at least), but it's so helpful to give you a push for writing.

Other than the over 600 pages challenge and the short story, is there a length that the other books should be?

No, the rest can be as long or short as you want them to be :)

That's perfect, thanks. :)

I'm going to be doing this! I've already made my video, now I just need to edit and post it on youtube! :D

Great! :D Looking forward to watching it!

Good to know that we can combine challenges (that 600-page book though... What to read for that?).

I'm reading the game of thrones series right now. Can that count?

I see no reason why it wouldn't :) that alone can knock off a few of the challenges at once, how far are you into the series?
