Heather’s comments from the Dementia - Reading Challenges group.

I keep forgetting to check my books. I'm sending my husband to buy crayons now.

Starzee, let me know if Born of the Night is good. It looks interesting.

I put some ideas up for different realm/universe in the first post. A lot of people get confused over what constitutes a different realm or universe. Just because vampires or other paranormal creatures exist in our world in a book, that doesn't count. Also, it can't be something that could be a possible future for our world (IE - Kate Daniels). It has to be something where the world is completely different. Eragon and Lord of the Rings are the two that you'll probably be the most familiar with. They're completely different worlds, not England with a magical place called Hogworts that is hidden from a lot of humans.
Hopefully this will help.

3) Can we make an extra thread where we can post what challenges we're participating?

I just made a thread called I'm Completing... You can post challenges that you're working on and strike them out when you've finished them. Just remember, you can complete most of the challenges more than once if you'd like.

This is where you can post the names of the challenges in which your participating. This way you can remember what you're working on, cross out what you've finished, etc.

Anyone else have books that work?

Read 5 anthologies (collection of stories or poems).

Read 3 books that were converted into movies or TV shows.

Take one of the following quizes: What DC Superhero Are You? or What Marvel Superhero Are You?. Then read your hero.

How was Clockwork Angel Ginny? I'm trying to only read a chapter a day.

I had a teacher assign the Irving Stone book my sophomore year and it's one of 2 books I actually read in high school rather than skimming. Although, I'm a bit obsessive with Michelangelo.

is historical fiction

-non-fiction

Those are 2 of my favorites at least. There are a lot of other books to choose from through.

I already finished this in Delerity so I'm going to start all over again. It should be fun.

2) Do reread books count, too? Or can we use the books only we haven't read yet?

It's up to you. Although, if it matters for the challenge I'll post it at the beginning with the explanation so that you know there is a specific rule for that particular challenge. What matters to me is that you're reading. It's still reading even if you know the ending.
