Renee’s comments from the The Reading Challenge Group group.

Thanks for the link, Veronique!

Kelsi-
You can do one or the other. I usually try for colors in the title, but others have done cover colors with success. It's up to you.

So more than half of the books you've read this year are those previously owned by you. That's a pretty good ratio, Captain. :)

Andrew Lang's fairy books are fine for this. I think I used one or two of them to complete this mini last year. :)

You guys have convinced me. My other reading commitments can be put off a bit more. So I'm going to try to read Wicked this this week!

Sounds like a good new plan, Leslie. There are just too many good books out there to waste time with bad ones. :)

Woot woot! Good job, Allison!

Right now I'm trying to decide whether to try to read, Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West, the book I had planned for this challenge, or to use Dragon Actually, which I've finished. The latter has two vilianous baddies, but was earmarked for a place in Spring Bingo. On the one hand I've been wanting to read Wicked for quite awhile, on the other hand I could be done with this challenge right now. (!)

Nice!

Lol! I just love that name. :D

I hear ya! I always get to the last few days of a month and find I have to make some choices on what I can actually finish, what gets put off til next month, and what goes back on the shelf.

Haha! I know! They're so darned cute!

I usually lean more toward classics, but You are making me think that it's time for me to look into some of the year's new releases. :)

Most of my monthly reads are based on GR groups reads from various groups (Edwin Drood, Fathers & Sons, North & South), our mini-challenges, and the genre of the month. I'm doing pretty well with Fantasy. So far... A Wind in the Door, The Goose Girl, Dragon Actually. I'm still hoping to get in a few more dragons and a little magic before the end of the month. :)

I'd probably use it where I needed it to put me closer to a achieving Bingo!
Either category seems fine. :)

I don't know much about these, other than the fact that Stella is using them for the Crazy Calendar challenges. Use your best judgment. If they seem series-like, then use them. :)

Hi, Alessandra! So glad you're joining us!

Finally on a real computer, which means I can actually see Holly's new crop of badges. I'm in love with the little brain and ghost! So clever! Thank you, Holly!!

The Reichenbach Falls! :D

Jenny-
It's probably "The Final Problem." This story should be in the "Memoirs of SH" collection. It introduces Professor Moriarty and dispenses with Mr. Holmes... for awhile.

lol. I like it!
