This is a VERY open-ended challenge, designed to guide your reading in a fun way.
HOW IT WORKS
Pick a book - any book - paranormal in nature and READ IT!
Next, pick your next book, based on the previous book's title.
For example, if you read "RED QUEEN", then for your next book, you need to read a book with "RED" or "QUEEN" somewhere in the title (and so on and so forth). -OR- get creative and maybe you read a book with a RED cover or with a "QUEEN" pictured on the cover.
The object is to make sure that ALL your books LINK together in some way.
LEVELS
EASY: Link 6 books together
MEDIUM: Link 10 books together
HARD: Link 18 books together
READ-A-HOLIC: Link 24+ books together
CHALLENGE RULES
→ 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. You will be updating this first post as you finish your books.
→ For each book you read, please update your original post and somehow indicate which book you read, and the date you finished reading it. Also, please explain why the book links with the previous if it's not obvious (ie you are using a cover image, instead of a word in the title).
→ You may only use each book one time in this challenge, but feel free to use the same titles in other challenges!
→ 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. However, please do not delete your posts. It will mess up the links to other participants' postings if you do.
