I'll make my list up soon :)


Tina "IRead2Escape" (tinar1121) | 1292 comments Question...for the bonus section I'm reading 2 books per selection. I have 2 favorite holidays, can I pick a book 1 for each holiday or do I have to settle for only 1 favorite holiday? Hope that makes sense.


Jessie~ Mae Winter Sounds like great fun, I'm in. Will sort my list and update.

Great! I'm a huge fan of Christmas, but I am always torn between Halloween and Thanksgiving..lol. Pretty much the fall holidays rock in my book. I don't necessarily have books in mind for these yet, mind you...lol.


Tina "IRead2Escape" (tinar1121) | 1292 comments Uh-Oh. What happened to our challenge leader?

It stinks. I hope someone didn't drive her away. She had a great challenge idea and then poof, she's gone. I'm not sure how we go about setting up a challenge, but I'll be happy to re-post her rules, etc.

I know the same challenge was posted in another group by Lizz (one of our members as well) with acknowledgement to Autumn...

Category one was your choice. You could either pick one of the words and spell it out or do a cover hunt where the title or cover had that word depicted. Category 2 was you read a book that had that color on it or in the title or author's name. Category 3 (bonus) you kind of created your own. You could pick what #'s you wanted to read and then you read 1, 2 or 4 books per choice. You have a year to do it from the day you start.

Unfortunately, the person who started the challenge just up and disappeared, so it seems we're in limbo. I am still compiling my list because I thought it was a brilliant idea and I'm hoping we get the go ahead to still do it.

...But the more I think about it, the more I figure that if she posted it here, then she is happy for us to use it...

I'll see if Katie is happy to give up her post and let us use the top slot for the challenge rules...

Please continue to plot your challenge :)
