FALL 2013 READING CHALLENGE
Duration: September 22, 2013 - December 20, 2013

Rules
• Books must be read during the selected time period.
• Post the date you finished the book.
• Use the add book/author tool to tag your book within your challenge.
• Read some or all of the required categories -- your choice!

Tips
• If you're using the GoodReads App you will not be able to use a lot of the functions. It is best to use the website.
• Some categories may be difficult to find a book that fits. Be creative. I'm not a stickler so if it at all resembles the main gist of the category, go ahead and use it.
• If you need help finding books, a great source is Listopia -- a super awesome fun part of GoodReads! I've added some links to each category that you may need help finding books on. Feel free to browse those links or do your own search in Listopia.
• Copy & Paste the template below and start a comment.
• Add books whenever you want. You can either add them as you read them or plan it all out and add them before reading.
• Once you finish a book or if you need to update you comment, do so by clicking "edit" on your comment.
• Continue editing your original comment (with the template) each time you finish a books.
• Once you're done, make a new comment so we all know!

really? I'll have to check them out! I've never seen the show either but have wanted to watch it. Perfect time to do so -- Scary Halloweeeeeeen!

[Nancy]

It's a real comic book though lol I didn't think I was going to enjoy it because of that. But, I was pretty Impressed. Had a lot of action and enough suspense to keep me wanting to know what's next :)

[♡ Kristina, Moderator]

So it's funny? I thought the show was supposed to be scary... interesting. I've never been in to comic books but now I want to try this one!
