LEVELS

Bitten = 4 - 5 books
Smitten = 6 - 9 books
Lust Ridden = 10 - 14
Loved = 15 - 20
Eternal Bliss = 21 - 25

Edit
Or try Anything Goes and see if you get a B.I.N.G.O. from anything you can match. Sort of a make your own B.I.N.G.O. by seeing if you get five in a row by choosing hearts from the three different cards, without moving the hearts around.

Example for Anything Goes
Using the diagonal from left to right, choose the "B" then the "Reach 4 it!" from Card #3; use the "Free Space" and "Sweet Talk" from Card #1, and last use the "First Kiss" from Card #2.

Neat, ~Melissa~! Welcome to the challenge.

[Katie]

I'm in for the Love Sucks card. I'm going to go for 4-5 books... we'll see how it goes!

Reach 4 It! - Glitter Baby by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Main character longs to escape her parents clutches and abandon her modeling career so she can find herself. Ultimately she begins a career as an agent representing fashion designers, actors and writers and loves it!

Love Sucks - The Brides of Rollrock Island by Margo Lanagan. Misskaela hates love so much that she creates a curse for the island she lives on where the men are uncontrollably drawn to merwomen who are removed from their seal bodies to live on land as women.

#1 Fan - Close to Famous by Joan Bauer. I have loved Joan Bauer since i was in middle school and she never fails to disappoint. Great characters, real world issues and plenty of heart-warming moments.

[Lisa Kay]

Super, Katie! Welcome to the challenge.

Really, all the mods contributed to this challenge in one way or another. It was Laura's idea for the conversation hearts. Your idea for the "Love Sucks" card. LOL!

[Lisa Kay]

...and the three of us hijacked it from Lisarenee, who continued to help us even after that. **hee hee**

[Jex]

I'm just happy there's a love sucks option this year. I usually skip February challenges because they are all romancey :-P

[SandyC]

You mods are so clever! I am going for Bitten.

[❀Tea❀]

Can someone please explain to me Anything goes

Another thing... :D
Love Bug – Read a car where a character drives or rides in a little car.
You mean like stickers or license plates? :D

I am trying to figure out if I can work this challenge in or not. Hmmm...

❀Tea❀, I expanded the explanation, does that help?

Also corrected the type-o from 'car' to 'read" for Love Bug. Thanks!

Got it, thanks :D

[Lisa Kay]

Julianne, the flashing gif was really frustrating for me. The instructions were perfect until right at the end. Couldn't quite get the multiple slides within one file to work like they said as my PP was slightly different. I spent waaaaaay too much time on it. Plus, I'm always a little slow at the beginning of learning something. But, then I take off.

The website for the hearts is here, and it takes you to picasion.com where you can add any picture you want.

This is neat! I've been wanting to read The Soloist, so is it cheating if I start with "Rock Star" on card one so I can read it right now?? I might lose this challenge big time and not even get one bingo/Bitten level. Yet, how can someone "lose" by reading even one book? Thanks for fun challenge.

That definitely wouldn't be cheating, Tanya! It depends on how you're approaching the challenge. But many people - including me - are going to just read BINGO straight across the card (with books). I don't have time to read lots and lots of books all over the card and hope I make BINGO. You'd want to match up your books to the little BINGO hearts if you do it that way.
