Well done Sherry! I have you updated.

Okay peeps, only a few days left. I need to kick my reading into high gear. I have 3 books on the go right now and only two of them fit this challenge. I don't think I will make my goal but I am going to do some power reading today. Good luck to all for completing this challenge.

[M.H.]

Finished another, . I think that's four...

[Jodi]

I have this book as your fifth MH. Your last two posts each had two books in them.

[M.H.]

Ah, thank you! I'm trying to plan my challenges and I'm getting myself confused.

[Stephan]

It took me a while, but I have finished 2.

2. Read a book of your favorite genre.
Catching Fire (2/5 stars)
I thought it was a bit slow compared to the first book and I missed it's pacing. Also I felt the tension was less, a lot of back story needed to be added, it felt like a build up to the third book and I hope it will be better.

3. Reread your favorite book.
Dune(5/5 stars)
I still love it. I read it years back and I discovered new things in the book I didn't remember from the last time. The complexity is still impressive.

2/2 completed.
It was nice to reread my favourite sci-fi novel again. the hunger games was in line with my plan so the came together nicely. I enjoyed this challenge, next time a higher goal then 2 :)

[Jodi]

Way to go Stephan! Dune is on my to read list. I hope to read it this year. If you decide to read another book for this challenge let me know. There is still time to maybe finish one more.

[SibylM]

I have finished my two!
2. Read a book of your favorite genre.
Deadly Choices: How the Anti-Vaccine Movement Threatens Us All
I love lots of different genres but if you forced me to choose I would probably say nonfiction books focused on medicine, science, biology type subjects.

4. Read a book that takes place in your favorite place.
Reality Boulevard
Again, I love lots of different places, but one of my favorites is Los Angeles, particularly the Hollywood/West Hollywood neighborhoods, which will always feel like home to me.

THE ANYTHING GOES MINI CHALLENGE
December 1 - 31, 2013

The theme for December is anything goes because the idea is to get as many books read as possible to get you to your 2013 goal.

1. Read a book by your favorite author.

2. Read a book of your favorite genre. Death Comes to Pemberley Historical Fiction is one of my favourite genres.

3. Reread your favorite book.

4. Read a book that takes place in your favorite place. (This is open to interpretation and doesn't need to be a real place. For example, I could read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress if I just loved the moon.) Christmas at Tiffany's The main character moves to New York, Paris, London and she visits Venice. I fell in love with Paris and Venice when I went to Europe. I still need to make it to New York and London
