This had started out as a monthly challenge and I thought that's not enough time.
If you read a book and a character is a craftsman, you can add the book to the appropriate list! Then it counts!! 😊
This is a fun idea, although I'm not usually very good about choosing from lists. So I'll start with 10 books and see how it goes.Craft

I got some books at the used book store a couple of days ago for this challenge. I usually don't like list challenges either but I could not come up with another idea for Craft. I hope it will be fun!
I just spent the last hour going through the lists and found lots of books, now to just read them. haha

Wow, congrats to you! This one is proving to be harder for me than I thought it would, but I'm not giving up :)
Great job, JoAnne! I'm having the same trouble as Barb. I never seem to take the time to look up the books that apply in advance, so this challenge always gets pushed to the back of the line.
Mod
Hopefully, it's not as bad as What Should I Read Next! That one is killing me!

Guess I'd do better if I did a little pre-planning, but somehow that rarely happens.

I missed that one when it was posted, and I think I'm glad. I have too many "read these books IN THIS ORDER" challenges going right now, the last thing I need is to take on yet another. Maybe I'll think about joining when I get some of these others done?

***** CHALLENGE COMPLETE 8/11 *****
Way to go, Barb! I just can't make much progress on this one. I should know better--I never do well with list challenges.Do you generally go through the lists and find books you want to read? Or do you read books, then check to see if they fall on one of the lists?
Mod
Oh ok, good. I just finished a book and was shocked to discover it wasn't on any of the lists. *off to add it now...*
For this challenge, I specifically chose books that were on some of the lists, but not until after I realized that I was never going to get very far if I didn't approach it that way :)
